Speaking of blowing down a toss, I had a partner in a Men's Rec game blow down my toss because it was too high. Both guys tried to steal it, got nothing, and couldn't jump again when the ball was on the way down so the first touch was by a jumper back on the floor. My thought was "so what?" but I never did ask him about it. Am I missing something?
