THAT is what this is all about

This is exactly where we need to clarify things. I've always been taught that if the ball (bounding or in the air) goes PAST the bag, U1/U3 has the call.
But my heart and my head agree with you. On a bounding ball that screams past the bag, the fair/foul call is AT the bag ... thus belonging to the UIC.

True, U1/U3 are closer on that play, but does that really mean they have a better view? Camps teach to stay back to get a better look at the big picture in most other situations, wouldn't the same apply here - giving way to the UIC to make the call?
Just throwing out ideas on a rainy day here.
