A new first

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.

Persoanlly, I think that would be a game interrupter. It might affect the jumpers' SBPR or sumthin'.

You can either toss with two hands off the bounce, in one motion, or really work on tossing without dipping. Anything else, that I've seen, will allow the jumpers to time the toss. Any dip tells them you are going up. This is something that normally happens once, but if you want it right some attention must be paid to it.
