ive never done this. i worked the box and a few variations and never did it there, and now thats not even possible in the GD. i personally dont see the need for it.

as a catcher, i never once liked it, but then again i very rarely had an umpire do that. i had a few hand-on-the-back umpires in high school, but none in my college stint. i have no idea about little league or anything from when i was younger. even though the guys that did do it, put the hand there lightly, you still feel it and it just feels out of place.

im not a fan of it from either side
