I don't bounce the ball. I walk in the circle with the ball in my right hand. I tell the players I'm going straight up and then push the ball up underhand with a release point above my head. I'm 6'5", so the combination of my height and talking to the jumpers as I enter the circle doesn't afford the jumpers an opportunity to steal the tap. In fact a couple times a season my toss gets called back b/c jumpers will mis-time their jumps and/or miscalculate the height of the toss and both will miss the ball.
