I guess that makes a lot of sense. Bill Davis who is an instructor for Div 1 umpires teaches the wrong stance.

And, Jim Evans allowed a photo of a student using the wrong stance to be put up as an illustration on his web site.

Easiest way I know to find out how Jim teaches anything is to attend his academy or one of his week-long classics. I enjoyed the hell out of his Desert Classic and had planned on going again this past fall until it was cancelled.

You may be surprised by what you'll see first hand. And, you will definitely go home a better umpire. Everyone does. (Except maybe that one guy that kept saying, "That's not how I learned it at Regionals." Everyone tired of him quickly and even though he kept getting the same opportunities to learn as the rest, he just didn't open his mind to them. What a waste.)
