I stand over the ball, facing the offense, if possible counting as others noted. I work with different white hats, but most mark it RFP play quickly, while offense is still huddling.

If the offense comes to the line and RFP has not yet blown, I will stay over the ball if something is going on, like slow chain crew. If it is a "rushed offense", I will tell the snapper, "I'm backing a way. Don't touch the ball until you hear his whistle." Then I back away, monitoring, saying, "Wait! Wait! Wait!"

And don't worry about Umpire Bob... he's just joshing you. We're not really the types that save Snickers bars to eat later. We eat it now and get another one later.
