Yeah, we do a similar thing... R & U count offense, BJ and LJ count defense.
I'm not asking for advice on how to get the count done. And yes, I know I should've gotten the count quicker. In this case, my count wasn't as quick as I'd have liked because Team A came out directly from the sideline into their offensive formation, so counting the huddle wasn't an option.
My question: throw the flag myself and get confirmation after the play (and wave the flag off if necessary), or wait till after the play ends, confer with the other officials, and then throw the flag (if necessary)?
Either way is gonna look bad, I'm just not sure which one looks "less bad"
As it turned out, Team A ran a sweep that ended up losing a yard anyway, so it's a rather moot point; but still...
