I wouldn't stop for this, either. Hope your whistle wasn't in your mouth.
Do you stand between them for your toss?

Yes.

nah, I got yelled at by a partner during half time several years ago for having my whistle in my mouth during the toss. I've never had the whistle in my mouth since. It makes sense as to why you shouldn't have a whistle in your mouth.

It all depends on how they are standing but I don't get really in between them. I get my left foot (I'm left handed and footed) in between their feet, right foot is back behind me, toss the ball up and then kind of lean back so I don't get hit in the head by any arms coming back down.

You're part of the court laddy. Knock on wood literally.

Well put, I never would have thought to answer it that way if a player or a coach would argue that it should be a rejump since I was in the way or something like that.

That said a few times I've been hit by a pass or been bumped by a player. Truth be told, I was out of position.

I got hammered by a player once by accident. I'm T, and I see a player going down for a layup or something. He loses the ball and the defense (D1) grabs the ball and passes it in my direction. I didn't realize there was a player to my left and behind me a little. When I saw the ball coming for my face, I ducked because I had no chance to get out of the way once I realized a player was next to me. He ends up hitting me in the head with his arm (trying to grab the ball), knees me in my lower left back and I fell down on my bad knee. I wasn't out of position, I just couldn't get out of the way. When I retell this story to non-officials, they always ask "did you eject him?". To which I reply "no, it was my fault, I don't think he knew I was there as well as I didn't know he was there until it was too late".

Two man or three man? I ask because I'm much more likely to get caught on the court in a 2-man game. That said, it sounds like you were on the court between a player and the ball. You were out of position, whether you liked where you were for the play before or not.
