I personally don't understand why batters want to step out so much. When I played, it took me a couple of @ bats to dig out a nice comfortable hole to plant my back foot in. I kept my back foot planted as much as I could and opened up to get my signs.
That's great! I say let the coach do all the nagging, if that's what he wants to do.
