My HS coach did (and still does) uses this tactic on naive officials. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Additionally, (non-official's opinion) you should read what "mode" the offense is in (say, inside 4 minutes or so left in the game). If the offense is in "hurry up and score" mode, start the clock according to the rules. If the offense is in "eat up clock" mode, start it on the snap.
