I should start out first saying that one of the guys that is mentoring me went to Evans 2 years ago and that he is teaching me the heel toe heel toe stance not the box as I stated previously. This is the one I am most comfortable with as of now and what I will probably use as I start my clinic games.
The only reason that I asked about the scissors stance is that my I guess you could say main mentor uses this stance. He is a very accomplished umpire working 3 super regionals and 6 regionals at the college level. I also went and watched the local college team play yestarday just to see the umpires work and the UIC used the scissors stance. He was a conference USA official but I did not get to meet him to ask him about his preference for this. Thanks ot everyone that has replied so far and any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
