As a former first year official this was a nightmare scenario for me. During the season, I got in the habit of doing a count for my own benefit, but that screwed me up when the mental clock hit 0 before the horn.
I did pick up at camp this summer (No NOT Band Camp)to have a hand count, akin to the FT but not as dramatic just in case. It saved my bacon twice at the camp and twice since, so I am sticking with it. It doesn't take that long for a glance at the clock to see if it has started and starting your count.
If this is bad advice I would appreciate any pointers from the Veterans. However, this is what I would have done.
