I think its an easier call for PU to see the plane the ball is on, but easier for the BU to see where the ball is in regard to distance from the bag (before, over it, or past it). Its just very hard to keep your eyes looking right down that line like the PU when you are skipping and hopping to your left. Thats the point that is being made here, that the PU has a better look at that aspect of fair/foul. I understand that the BU has a better look at before/past the bag. If only we could combine the two.

I know mechanics say BU's call, so I'll stick with what has been studied and proven to work the most. I understand both sides. Would be nice to have some sort of point to the PU like on a pulled foot or a swipe tag at first, but there is no time for that unfortunately. I say BU makes the call, and you go with that, unless he is being screened by F3. Then he should just glance and give a point to the PU, because he has no clue what happened.
