I am a 4th year ump and personally I do not care if a VET takes control at home plate or not. Your performance on the field is most important. Since you are the PU, after the VET gives his speech, you are in control from that point on anyhow . As you get more and more games and the coaches notice who you are, that's when you will get the ultimate recognition.
