Actually, the officials manual, page 42, number 260.d, states "point in the direction of the throw-in team's basket and call out their shirt color". I do this in reverse order (sort of). I blow the whistle, open hand goes up, call the color, then point direction.

When I was first learning/polishing my mechanics, I stood in front of a full-length mirror and practiced. Makes you feel kind of dumb when you first do this, but it really helps with the mechanics.
