You should not say this. They could take it that no matter what they do you will not start the clock until the snap.

If this is happening in the first half I would not have worried to much about it unless they got a 3rd in a row. If it is the end of the game of close game, and they are ahead, I would inform the coach that the clock will not start until the snap.

If they persist in doing things along this line, I would then preceed to warn the coach that I am to the point to awarding the opposing team a score. If they are to the point where they are backed up so far to the goal line, I would probably tell him I would award the opposing team a safety, thus forcing him to have to kick the ball to them.
