I do not think there is a "standard" that everyone has to follow. I do not think there is a one size fits all stance in a conference let alone in the NCAA. We are not talking about pro ball where to move through the ranks you have to be evaluated by the same system.

Peace

I was reading somewhere, can't remember where. It said that umpires working the scissors developed neck problems. That the stance makes you tilt your head in an unnatural way. Has any one else heard of this. I also heard MLB is keeping track of foul balls hit off the mask to see if this has anything to do with umpires developing neck problems. I heard that Mark Carlson had surgery that he believes is a result of foul balls.
