Steve, I can see your point, and how that works. I guess I was thinking back to when the situation has happened in the past, and my PU made the LBR call at 1st. It was the first time that I had seen it, and know it, so it was probably a good thing that he called it for me. Since we are taught as BU to observe the BR to first, it seemed logical that they could call the LBR violation. However, I can see how that might not work when their attention is (and should be) drawn to R1 on 3rd as you mention. For me, this seems to be one of those mechanics that works well on the field, but is hard to put into words for me.
And before John jumps on me here, I'll say that I in no way meant that the PU has the BR to 2nd and the BU has to cover home. (I'd use the little smiley here, but can't figure out how to)
