Do you normally say anything to alert the players to the fact that you are going to initiate the jump?

Telling them to hold their spots is like telling the non-shooters to go behind the division line during a FT for a technical or intentional foul.
I say two words before I toss the ball, as I'm walking into the circle.
"White." As I point towards white's basket.
"Red." As I point towards red's basket.
