SamC & Others,

This does work. My Partner and I used this procedure twice
in games yesterday. Since seeing this post, we naturally
discussed this in our pregame. On one of the plays, I was
the BU and had to cover 3rd on the play. Nothing happened
ball was thrown out of play, but we had it covered.
