Honestly, I suppose you could direct them to try to tap the ball if you go through a few tosses. But I really doubt you'd have that happen.

During a jump ball, a jumper is not required to face his/her own basket, provided he/she is in the proper half of the center restraining circle. The jumper is also not required to jump and attempt to touch the tossed ball. However, if neither jumper touches the ball it should be tossed again with both jumpers being ordered to jump and try to touch the ball.

After a couple, you could designate the U to toss. And watch real close for a violation by a non-jumper outside the circle.
