I always move if the player asks and only once had a partner complain that I made him "long switch." Moving up to become the C in this situation isn't a long switch, and if your legs can't get you to the proper position you've got more problems than this.

I cannot believe this is a discussion either. The player can throw the ball from anywhere he wishes. They do not get to dictate where I put the ball in play. And in my area we are not allowed by our mechanic to bounce the ball across the lane or anywhere on the end line.
I have in my 20 years and counting only had one coach make this request and they did not even communicate what they wanted done. He got a T for his actions. And I have gone on to work much better games and I have not seen that coach since. So I guess it is really not a big deal.
