Hi,
I can tell you this topic just came up the other day. My daughter has been catching for over 3 years now (currently 12U) and going to the same coach the entire time. He is one of the most well respected catching coaches around our area and an amazing person/mentor and coach. He has taught her to sit flat footed for better stability and balance from day 1. Recently, my daughter has been helping to catch for some of the girls taking pitching lessons on her team. They are both using the same coach for pitching. He likes to also give my daughter catching pointers. He keeps telling her to go up on the balls of her foot so she isn't so "flat-footed". I tell my daughter to kindly thank him for his advice but to tell him her "catching" coach prefers her to do it the other way.
