Along the same lines of communicating the free-throw scenario to the players as the non-calling official ("white here, white here" for the 2 required spots, to get them lined up quicker), you can also use your voice to get the ball back in your hands more quickly after a whistle.

As you know, players will often stand dumbfounded holding the ball with no idea where it should go once play stops. A little, "here you go, white; right behind you, white; thanks, white" goes a long way toward having the ball ready to inbound/administer as soon as your partner's ready to roll.
