Right or wrong, not watching where one is going is a dangerous move by any umpire especially at the plate where players have been known to take their alleged "practice swings" while completely oblivious to the immediate environment and those occupying that space.
Again, back to just killing the ball and hustling back into position seems to be the safest and most expedient method.
