No again, I'm making it about the game. The ref who has to retoss is the one that's sour, if he chooses to be. I know if my partner didn't think my toss was good enough, I would have no problem retossing it. But that's just me. I just don't understand why referees get so upset about their jump balls.
At a camp, I had a partner get real upset (not mad) at me because I blew back his toss. 3 days later he was still taking about me blowing back his toss. From his position, the toss was perfect. From U1, he stepped back when he tossed it and the ball went back with him, such that one of the jumpers swung and missed it. He swung laterally not straight up but laterally and missed the whole ball while the other jumper, standing on the other side tip it easily. With this referee, it was about him.
Peace
