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.

WAY TO GO ROOKIE!!! And that's in the RULE BOOK, not the officials manual. You're all right rook!!

So, bob, if the teams both (miraculously) come out of the huddle at the 45 second warning horn, and are ready to play with 5 seconds left in the timeout, are you going to wait until the timer blows the horn?
When you call a foul, do you inform the fouler, give a number, give a preliminary, verbally inform the shooter, then report perfectly to the table? Somehow, I doubt that you get every step 100% of the time.
Unfortunately, all I can find right now is an older Mechanics Manual (2001-03), which states:
"It is not desirable to 'show-off' in making a call. The official should remain in the background. It is not the officiating, but the game that is the attraction."
