That's not what Julie said...........
When we work together, she usually lets me toss. My method is simple (really - no joke). I pick a spot about 3 feet higher than the taller of the jumpers, midway between the two. Then I "shot put" the ball to that spot, while looking only at the spot.

It works really well for me and I can't ever remember having my partner call a re-jump due to a bad toss.

However, I once worked with a partner from England who said it really wasn't a good idea to get a reputation as a "tosser".
Depends on what you're tossing. Tossing basketballs and coaches is good. Tossing cookies and salads is bad.
