Once again, from JEA:
The umpire should not allow play to commence unless the catcher positions himself directly back of home plate. He may leave this position in compliance with Rule 4.03(a).
And from good old Rule 2.00:
The CATCHER'S BOX is that area within which the catcher shall stand until the pitcher delivers the ball. (remember the proper interp of delivering the ball, don't take it literally)
Put that with JM's and ctblu40's explanations, and that is the way to rule on it.
