One doesn't need to come to hands on knees set, but one should at least come to a standing set (motionless) at the time of play. Even on DP's one should be at a standing set for the play and them move while signalling the call at second and then come set again for the play at first.

I agree, when I'm making a call or when I read a bad throw in the infield or a trouble ball in the outfield. But if it's a can of corn or a true throw? I'm not needed anyway, why stop?
