Passed Ball Mechanics

I just saw the Home Plate Umpire in the Pirates @ Tigers game set up with his back almost completely turned to the catcher, on one knee facing Home Plate. The ball was still moving when he turned his back on it.

I do not claim to know all of the mechanics taught to MLB umpires at all. This looked really weird and improper to me.
