JMHO,
I've been instructed to listen for the "Thwack" (for lack of a better term)of the ball hitting the glove and the "Thump" of the foot hitting the bag.
If "thump" comes before "thwack", I don't wait, I signal "Safe" immediately.
If "thwack" comes before "thump", I look up to see if the first baseman has possession of the ball, then make the appropriate call.
Again, JMHO.
