Idiosyncrasies with UIC's........how my weekend went

[Gulf Coast Blue]

14U FP State tournament this past weekend...........

Weather was brutal......games were GOOD (maybe even Great).......but I digress......

There were 63 teams and we were spread out between 4 complexes..........(the original scenerio was to be between two 4 field complexes......and the local HS field and the local College Field).......10 fields total.........We wound up playing on 11 fields due to the bad weather......

We had a Tournament UIC and 3 assistants because of the # of fields being played on.........

The UIC assigned to my field commented that he thought my rear foot was a bit too far behind the batter. I retorted that my wide plate stance was what was taught to me at the ASA National School (Wally Sparks, Henry Pollard, etc.)............he said my zone was good.......so don't change anything.......but he had never seen a stance where the rear foot was so far back..........(funny.....he UIC'd a National Invitational that I umpired in last year).........

He again reiterated that my "strike zone" was good.........but I may want to re-think my positioning..........(I pretty much expose myself in the slot........and have what I thought was a pretty good heel to toe position).......but, my rear foot may be behind my front foots heel.......do any of you see any problem with this??

I did not have any UIC's mention this last year..........should I get worried......or snooze it?
