Saying "find a spot" is meaningless in the sense that it is impossible to not comply and it doesn't contridict any rule, but it can help with speeding up the administration and avoiding a jump ball violation when there are multiple players shuffling around the circle prior to the jump.

Why not skip the color and direction, too?

I hit the whistle, step in, and toss it up.
