Zebraman has it exactly correct, going by the National Federation.
Another pointer, during the time out or between quarters, the official that is going to administer the next live ball should hold the ball to the side of the body that will start the direction of the next live ball. If you were taking the ball out at the sidelines, obviously the official would place the ball on the left or right side of the body. If you were at either end line, obviously the official would place the ball on the front or rear of the body.
Let me tell you, it is a great tool because I can remember "day dreaming" during a time out and forgetting who should start the next live ball.
