I would say as long as you are consistent, there is no room for legitimate complaint. If your zone varies with the batters position in the box, you open yourself up to being inconsistent. Once a hitter knows you always call a particular pitch a strike or the pitcher knows you see a particular location a ball it is encumbent on them to adapt. You establish the zone the teams will be playing with that night. I know coaches can be a pain some times but the truth of the matter is we prefer umpires with a firm control over the game. My favorite umpires let everyone know you are on their field and in their office.
