We consistently follow this procedure and we don't run into any problems.
At the second horn, blow your whistle.
Mentallly count two seconds.
Blow your whistle again.
Put the ball on the floor, if the offense is delaying.
Hand the ball to the thrower, if the defense is delaying.
As Mark said, you'll only have to do it once!
