I went to a local clinic which had a D1 - D2 umpire in chief instructing. He said that their umpires are instructed to go 4-6 inches outside, but take that away from the inside. I'll go a ball or slightly more outside, but a inside pitch has to hit the corner. I'd have probably told the catcher after the first time he turned around that he'd have all the time he wants to check out the hot chicks in the stands from the dugout if he did it again.
