I was told at a camp that the official needs to do something to fake out the players to prevent them from stealing the toss. Basically, the whole point was to vary your routine so that the players can't time you (kinda like a base runner timing the pitcher's move in baseball). The key is finding a balance so that you don't get the players to jump at a fake toss, but to also prevent them from getting a jump on the toss.
