Why is this so impossible? Throw the ball up high and instruct the players that it's going up high and to get it on the way down or else you'll rejump it. If it's stolen on the way up, stop play and rejump. If it's thrown up high it will be obvious if it's on the way up or down. In severe and pathetic circumstances,if the tip is stolen twice, whoever steals it on the 3rd try,...TECH.

How about we just call a violation the first time and stop wasting time.

You can't steal it twice or three times. The first time is a violation and the opponent gets the ball.

As far as you know. . . :D

A violation on a stolen tip gets called about as often as Reggie Miller gets called for initiating contact.

Don't sell yourself short, you're a tremendous slouch.

Q. What do you get when you take Rogaine and Viagra?

A. You get hair like Don King. :p

Point is, without regard to often it gets called, you don't jump it again. The only time you toss it again is if it's tossed and no one touches it pr the referee makes an error in tossing.

Hey - I took them once. At least that's more times than the French have won wars.

Hmmmmmm. . . ;)

YU.P., yU.P. :)

Of course, Chuck is right again. This is his subtle way of saying that he doesn't agree with the "only time" phrase in the quote. While I'm sure that he agrees that this is one situation for a re-toss, his point is that there are others.
For example, there would be a re-toss if both jumpers simultaneously touched the ball and knocked it straight out of bounds.
