Sunday afternoon, when asked this exact question he said:
"There is no reason to look to the side . . . never call a strike to the side."
Maybe you have more recent information than we were given.

Nope, not since then. But his info helped get me ranked #2 at PBUC several moon's ago, and the number one thing they liked was Plate Work, Strike zone, Mechanic and style, oh yeah and timing.
I point this out because those that worry about style over the nuts and bolts of umpiring are worrying about the wrong thing. If turning causes problems, don't do it; if it doesn't, then don't change it.
Again, over 75% of the guys I have worked with in Pro ball and NCAA, point and turn when appropriate.
