That is not the customary postion for runners on the corner.
Prior to 1991 (?), the pro schools taught that with runners on the corners, the BU should be in position C. In 1991, the changed the mechanics to B. (I could be off by a year or two but I am certain that the current position is B for runners on the corners.)

This is the pro school mechanics only. FED mechanics could be different but since my association does not allow their use, I am not sure what the current FED doctrine is.

Mr. Obsorne:

Probably you don't have your PBUC manual at work. (grin) When you get home this evening, check out 8.8 to see what the VERY current (2000) edition has to say about where the umpire stands with runners on the corners.
