I would like meet this PU. He is GOOD, REALLY GOOD!!!
First he calls catch/no catch, then he watches runner from third tag up(or not), then he watches to see if runner from third tags home, then he makes an out call at third base.
My hats off to him.

And those are all his/her responsibilities. The deviation would be if the throw from the outfield was initially heading home, which would require the PU to stay home for the play, and the BU would then take the play at third base on the cutoff throw from the infield.
