Now I'm confused.
My understanding, based on someone being ahead of the lead runner, is the PU covering 3rd, regardless of where the fielders are
and the U1 rotating home when the PU does that, even if late.
Then, the PU can judge where the play is going; possibly call off the U1 if the U1 is too late.

Additionally, this shows the value of BOTH pre-game and pre-pitch.
