Do you stand between them for your toss?

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.

I didn't blow the whistle to stop play, because I'm thinking "ok, jumpers had their position, I got into position to toss the ball and kept my position until jumpers went up. It's her fault for the contact between us, not me". Was I correct?

Yes.

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.
