I used to do the one-hand underhand toss but I was really inaccurate and inconsistent...just all over the place. I saw someone on TV a couple years ago (don't remember who or even if college or pros) who stepped into the circle with the ball in his left hand (off to his left a little) and swept it up and center in one motion. As the ball came center he pushed it straight up (i.e., tossed it) with his right hand. I know, I know, it sounds complicated and dorky, but I tried it my next game, it worked great and I've been doing it ever since. I'm in a rhythm, don't dip with either hand or body, consistently toss the ball straight, and I'm more able to avoid the jumpers (being already in motion vice standing still). Works for me.
