I knew there was a rule about the start of the 2nd half, but I was not aware of a rule for the jump ball. Please cite the rule?
N-Ref is correct, the rule applies to the start of any half.

10-1-5
A team shall not:
Allow the game to develop into an actionless contest, this includes the following and similar acts:
a. When the clock is not running, consuming a full minute through not being ready when it is time to start either half.

However, if the team is in the gym and still huddled or whatever, the RPP can be used to begin the second half. It's also used if there is a delay at the beginning of any period.
