I have never seen a jumper "possess the ball with the initial touch." I see that as practically impossible to do on a properly tossed ball.

I've seen both jumpers initially miss the ball on the first jump...then one of the jumpers catch the ball on the way down.

I've seen that, too. Often because the toss was too high or was before the jumpers were ready.

No such thing as "too high." That just means they didn't time their jump properly.

Strictly speaking there isn't, but if it hits the ceiling, it's too high.

Obviously, a toss can be (for practical purposes) too high.

While I don't think it is required by rule, I also say why bother. It isn't like it is the last 2 seconds.
