As the R, I confirm with captains that their team is on the floor and ready to go. Then I whistle and toss. Probably less than 2 seconds between tweet and toss. Not much time to get in trouble. As a U, I keep my mouth shut and hope nothing blows up.
Personally, I think a jump ball is a terrible way to get a great start to a game but a great way to get a terrible start to a game.

IAABO requires this to be announced.
FIBA does not.
