I didn't read all the pages in this thread so I aplogize if this has already been posted. When I count the players and have more than 11 players before the snap, I ALWAYS recount before I throw my flag. Sometimes during the recount they snap the ball. Nothing looks worse than throwing a flag thinking you have more than 11 and then flagging and see that there are just 11 players. It's like thinking you have foul and flagging it. If you think you have something you don't. We must know we have a foul. That is why I take a second count so that I know the count. If I count 12 twice then by golly we got twelve. I'm sure we've all done this before and counted 12 the first time and then recounted and there were only 11. If I do that I'll count a third time.
