Several umpires around here will either put their hands behind their backs or tuck them behind their knee.

I don't find either position comfortable. I put my forearms across my legs for stability & consistency, which tends to put my hands behind the catcher, except when the catcher is setting up way outside.

I've taken a shot to the hands a few times, but more commenly I'll get popped on the forearm.
