I personally wouldn't have such hard and fast rules about where a coach stands. I'd rather be able to stand my ground, have a quick conversation without being adversarial, and get the game moving again.

Not when they know it is contest a call.
I've seen too many umpires almost hurry to get to a coach and get overly defensive prior to the coach even opening his/her mouth. Just as you are not to take a position with arms crossed that could be construed as defensive or inattentive, I do not want to offer ANYTHING which would give the impression that I am eager to confront a player or coach. For that matter, I try to make a point to have a big smile on my face when a coach is heading in my direction. I want them to do the work and not have me to use as an excuse.
