Also, because of the spin on the ball, it is much easier to catch it if you turn around. Most cases, it's easier to track, as well. Travis is also completely right about holding the mask until you're sure you won't throw it where you'll trip over it. Another "mistake" some catchers make is accidentally throwing the mask at the umpire. That's a good way to ensure every pitch on the corner is a ball the rest of the game.
