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.
Let's change this just for fun.
"What you need to consider is that the objective of the free throw is for the player to make the shot. If this can't be done, you have players flailing for the ball on its way down, it's just a mess and it looks bad and it looks like the refs don't know what they're doing."

This may sound stupid, but so does your post. You don't call back a legitimate toss because the players missed it. You let it play out. If I ever have a U call back my toss because the players missed it and looked awkward, we're having some unpleasant words at half time.
