That was a personal opinion, and assumedly preference.
The idea is to have the umpire out of any set position and prepared to break inside. One or two steps doesn't matter (Chapter 5.A.1, pg 246) to ASA, just push off the left foot. This is a mechanic with which the umpire must be comfortable and fluent.
