BUs call all the way. Yes, the PU has a better angle, but he has too many other things to worry about with the batter and the catcher.
After the pitch is caught by the catcher, the BU should start taking a few steps in to the infield and "read" the catcher. With bases loaded, it is unlikely that a pickoff play will be attempted at second base, much more likely that a play will be attempted at first or third. If the BU is moving, he will have a good 90 degree angle for a play at third. If the play goes to first, he is already moving that way and can get closer to the play and sell the call.
This is one of the toughest calls for the BU because of the angle and the distance. Get as close as you can to the play to give the appearance that you are all over it.
