"Proper us of the eyes", timing, was drilled into us at first base on out calls. See the foot, hear the catch, find and look at the ball.
However, on safe calls, we were taught: make the call, move your a$$ to the infield, no need to hang around checking F3's glove.

I'm confused. What you say Jim taught is what Tee and I have been saying: If the runner is safe, call it at once and head for Position B. (He never called it that - except once. When we moved from foul line to the left of the mound, he said: "Now, Carl, you'd call this B, right?" I said: "Sure. And so should you." Light laughter.)
What I was discussing was the stance behind the plate. Probably you weren't replying to me at all; it was just a coincidence that your post followed mine about catcher's movements.
