Jeff the Ref, My advice is to NOT let this happen. Go get to team out of the huddle.

In spite of going to the huddle to call them out, I've still had it happen once. The teams were so burried in the huddle that they tuned us out.
The horns were properly sounded, the teams were notified on both horns, whistles were blown, etc. At the last horn, my partner called them out. After no response, he went to one huddlen and I went to the other, both with no luck. We then went back out, layed on the whistle, and put the ball on the floor. After about 5 seconds, the defnese had made it to the lane (delayed violation). The offense came running in quickly after that. Double violation (under the rules at the time). We had given them probably and extra 30-40 seconds after the horn before we actually put the ball down.
