Why do umpires turn around when cleaning off home plate?
This is not a requirement, but is done as a courtesy to the catcher. The umpire can also take this opportunity to talk to the catcher and not make it seem obvious. This practice was started many years ago, to be honest, so that the umpire would not show their rear end to the fans primarily behind home plate. Most conversations between the umpire and the catcher occur while both are facing the pitcher (toward centerfield)..that way no fan can see either player or umpire's face, read lips or even tell that an umpire and catcher are talking.

What is a hind catcher?
A hind catcher is the same thing as a catcher in baseball. It is the person who plays behind the batter and catches the ball when it is missed or not struck at. I know the term was used regularly in the south in the fifties and earlier. I'm not sure if it is still in use there, but I think most places have dropped the "hind" and now simply use the term "catcher." I am not sure of the origin of this term other than the fact that the catcher played behind or "hind" the home plate. I have seen one suggestion that the word "behind" was used to describe the position much in the same way you would say "in the field" to describe outfielders.
