JR, this case play is saying the same thing I'm saying. Retoss if the ball hits the floor untouched which is very likely to happen if both jumpers go up really hard for the tip and miss it, thus falling off balance from the effort of trying to tip the ball, and the ball drops to the floor. I have seen this many times. I will kill it if the toss is extremely high, and the jumpers have no chance of getting to it. Again, you can toss the ball to the ceiling and this is legal by the rules, but what I'm advocating here is a little common sense to go along with the rule. No foul has been committed, no violation has occur, no team has an advantage from retossing. So what's the big deal? The tossing official got a little egg on his face because he has to retoss. Who cares? Get over yourself, it is not about you.
Don't judge a book by it's cover....
