Can anyone explain the theory behind the superwide stance?
The superwide stance seems to have become the expected stance for the plate umpire in NCAA and now, perhaps, world cup, too. (Caveat: I haven't seen too many of the games / replays, but the superwide stance certainly sticks out in what I have seen).

I can sort of understand it for little kids - you don't have to bend the knees as much to get down into the zone - but for adult women?

I don't get it.

Anyone know the reasoning / theory?
