I've had this actually happen twice. After the first time, I made sure both players were back - still didn't matter, got slapped. Second time, I made sure the players knew not to steal the toss, and when I see big guys, I'll go up underhand.

EDIT: when I say underhand, I still have my hand right around in front of my face (not down low near my waist) - just not above my head where my arm is exposed!

Has anyone ever seen a ref "fake" the jump ball? - I don't know whether this is legal, I see it happen in hockey on face-offs as well (where I know it can be encouraged).
