Quite frankly, coach, I have had much more agitated coaches and fans because I call the "book" zone than other umpires who call a more compact zone seem to have. It seems no actual coach on the field wants the high strike called against his batters.
Think about it... would you complain if you see the pitch come in clearly at your batter's chin called a strike? Probably you would (even if you didn't voice the complaint, you would think it), yet that same pitch probably was also hitting the arm pits for the young ones, especially if the pitch has a bit of an arc. Even more so if your batter is forward in the box.
