Mike, as a new white hat on my crew, we have worked hard to slow me down. I try hard on each play to count players before I blow the ready for play. I don't always make it but I try. My umpire also is counting so he usually has the count before I do. On a try, it is untimed so I don't feel there is a problem taking a few extra moments to make sure things are correct. I won't blow the ready if a tee is present until my crew is set. Coaches may thing this is giving an unfair advantage to the offense but I would rather us be set and ready for what is coming than have a problem.
