The way we usually do it is I (the umpire) stay over the ball until the center starts to get in position, I very clearly tell him do not snap the ball until the RFP sounds, I make eye contact with R, and then back into my regular position. Then when I'm in position, the R gives the RFP.

Doing it that way doesn't leave the ball "uncovered" when A comes to the line, and only takes a couple of seconds.
