I just posted the same thing in another thread before reading your 
post.  I agree with the comment in general.  This is one advantage 
that smaller players, including many of the women, might have over 
larger players.  With a narrower shoulder width, less pivot about 
the chin is required to bring the shoulder joint toward the vertical 
plane.

I've tried this before on myself, looking into a mirror, and it 
still is not possible for me to get everything in line.  If I were 
more flexible in my neck and spine, or if my shoulders were a little 
narrower, maybe things could approach the "perfect" stance a little 
closer.
