IAABO mechanic for jump ball for the referee:
"Verbally and by directional signal indicate the teams' basket."
So in these parts, the official who does not do that is seen as the one who arrived 10 minutes early, doesn't care about prescribed mechanics, etc.

Actually, this makes me feel better, as I am in an IAABO state. I could have sworn I'd seen it in the manual, but took NV's word that it was not. BayState's post got me to double check and sure enough, there it is. Maybe that explains why the partners I've seen do that mechanic don't also talk about black lines and hand checks during the captains' meeting.
