The play on the single runner belongs to the BU so there is no question of home being covered.
Some "deviation" mechanics morph into what some believe to be gospel. This is one of them. PU takes 3B and BU rotates toward the plate. It works for some crews, but it isn't the true mechanic.

Does that mean you agree that the true mechanic is PU takes the lead runner (in this case, at home) and the BU takes the trail runner (in this case, at 3rd)?
