What does "hanging the jumpers" hurt? I actually like his deliberate method as IMO it keeps the jumpers from timing the jump. Now they are reacting to the toss and not jumping as you are moving in and anticipating. This gets them jumping at the same time. When I see one trying to anticipate either the ball gets tossed and he gains a clear advantage of being off the floor first or the official holds and lets them both come up together. Never do they go ahead and toss it while the first jumper is on the way down when he is the only one anticipating. Therefore he gets a free chance to try and get the tip.
