Everyone else bounces the ball at least once when they reach the circle...I come in ready to toss, no bounce. And I'm 6'5", so I make those kids really jump to get it.

Any of them just wait for gravity?

If I were a coach, I wouldn't even worry about the opening tap. I'd just set up for a defensive tip and look forward to getting the first AP arrow.

Now I get it. By "straight" up you mean that you're going to toss it right away, it doesn't mean that you're going to toss it in a straight line, even though you probably will.
