What advantage or disadvantage do you get from it?
How does it improve your game?
How does it help or hurt the players attempts?
Maybe you should ask these questions even to the Major League umpires.

You wrote a very tough post, Scott. I must admit there are reasonables doubts in it.
But in my rulebook, there's nothing stated about official's duties on the way of calling strikes. So you absolutely lack of any argument.
So I'll tell you: if you, as manager, are going to eat me alive only arguing my style without any broken play happened, I'm tossing you every game of my life.

Sorry, I don't get it.
A bad habit is a weakness. Turning your head is a bad habit. Therefore....

Now, do you believe the umpire who turns his head at the plate after a call gains something from that "mechanics"?
