Weight over the balls of your feet and balance is all that is important.

Yes and no. It is important but its a long ways from being all that is important.
BlueDog, Did you try the test? It could be said heels off the ground is the no teach and negatively effects upright balance. In some cases heel down helps the all important balance with weight over the balls of the feet. Back to what brought this up try getting into the proper catching position described by Catcher Coach without your heels touching the ground. After trying it, would you teach that to your catchers? Then if you saw your catcher with heels off the ground in that position would you still think its a no teach?
