This is a good question and in my opinion the answer is to call it back, retoss because the ball was thrown too high. Unless the ball is thrown way too high, this is not a bad thing. If I'm U1 or U2, we are re-jumping that. The reason is we're starting this game on a good note, good toss, good jump, etc. What you need to consider is the objective of the jump ball which is to hit the ball at it highest point. If this can't be done, you got guys swinging at it on the way down, just like you said, a mess, and it looks bad and it also looks like you don't know what you are not doing if you're not calling it.
If I'm critiquing you as an assigner/clinician and U1 and U2 don't blow their whistle to retoss. I'm taking points off for that and I'm also going to assume you don't know what you are doing. On the other hand, if you do blow your whistle, it swings completely the other way. I'm going to assume that this guy knows his stuff and yes, I'm impressed! Hope that helps.
Remember, it's sometimes the little things that can get you from one step on the ladder to the next.
