I have not ever had a real problem with this, probably because most of the refs in our chapter does it the same, so there is consistancy from game to game.
At the first horn, both benches are warned and then the refs go to their positions. After the second horn and partner refs are in position, the administering ref counts silently to 5 and sounds his whistle long and loud is one or both of the teams has not broken huddle. If one or both teams still has not broken huddle, the five second throw-in count begins.
This is the procedure we follow as a chapter, and I have never had a problem breaking huddle.
