I apologize for the previous post. I just had to dig into my book a little further. Rule 8-2 as follows:
Following a time out or intermission, the resumption of play procedure may be use to prevent delay. The timer will sound the authorized warning horn and final signal. The administering official will sound the whistle to indicate play will resume. The ball shall be placed at the disposal of the thrower or placed on the floor and the count shall begin.

The resumption of play procedure is a specific set of actions and decisions to use when the players are not coming promptly onto the floor for the game to re-commence. In that situation, perhaps a whistle just before bouncing the ball to the f.t. shooter would be a good idea. It happens very, very rarely. Under normal circumstances, where all the players are lined up or are on the court, the whistle just as the ball is being bounced to the shooter is discretionary.
