reason is, the more you bend over(think of body/trunk as torsion bar), the more you get inefficient coil and uncoil becaseu rotation creates too much separation (more separation the more you bend over and try to "turn like heck from middle out") in the low parts of the chain away from the shoulders so that quickness and late adjustment are not possible.
A demonstration of a belief with a nontruth used to support the belief.
You are missing the point of the bend at the waist and how you actually do it. The degree o bend may be exaggerated in young players to get them to understand the "feel" of what it does.
But, after experience they can get that feel without the exaggeration.
Again, you left before this good stuff came out.
