Default Any ideas on stopping "tug-a-war" ?!

So Obedience School started last night... Well they advised us that Tug of War is the worst thing you can do,, it teaches aggression, which I already knew,, But he LUVS is SOOO much, it is all he wants to do,,
So we get home,, and here he comes with his toy banging it in my leg and jumping in my lap,, and I keep saying " drop it" to throw it for him.. Well you can imagine how well that worked,, about 2 hours later,, he's like " what is going on"
How do you guys feel about this.. tug of war or No tug of war,,, or ideas of how to make him stop..
I know it does make him aggressive, cause when you do get the toy and throw it he runs and growls, and attacks it,, and brings it right back to do it again!
Any advise would be appreciated.... I need it!
Meanwhile Bailey is ....
