Count me as agreeing with this change.
Yes, there are more calls at 1st than at 2nd, but the degree to which my ability to make the call at 1st diminishes when changing to C from B is small, while the degree to which my ability to make the call at 2nd increases when making this change is well worth it.
The last coach that questioned my mechanics got to watch the rest of my mechanics from the parking lot. So I really don't much care how an individual coach may feel about whether I'm in B or C. No dog-wagging here.
