Sorry about that. Wrong link. The video I wanted to link to showed Casey 
Burgener doing both lifts and a an audio analysis. I'll see if I can find it 
and a link.

video analysis of Casey Burgener executing the snatch and the clean & jerk at 
the '06 Pan Am Games. This will answer a lot of questions in regard to the 
importance of the OH squat in Weightlifting training:

  I have two questions for you and/or other senior trainers. 
  
  Have you ever experimented with a wider base stance in lieu of raising the
  heals? If my memory serves me correctly Mel Siff was a proponent of this
  strategy as a way to learn the correct movement pattern without a prop. I'm
  curious if anyone has a lot of success with this method. 
  
  Next, I've personally had a lot of success "prepping" the posterior lower
  leg prior to and during the actual squatting and it often removes the need
  for a wider stance and/or heel lift. It's more intensive, but I've gotten
  incredible results using some manual therapy to help clear up the neural
  confusion (some folks use a foam roller, but I think hands on works a lot
  better), joint tracking to engage talar glide, and targeted dynamic
  flexibility for the muscles directly responsible for the proper motion. This
  type of interdisciplinary approach isn't for the average gym rat, but has a
  lot of applicability for the high level trainers of this group. 
  
  I'm looking for insights, experiences, and/or general thoughts on the topic.
  
  Thanks,
