Different mechanics manuals and sites I have seen state differently on subject.

In general, most mechanic's sets are based on the BU deciding when to go out and watch a ball or when not to. The BU has the center fielder to the right field line as their primary coverage. It is up to the BU all the way whether they decide to go out and look at a ball in the outfield or not. It has nothing to do with different mechanics, because those are the mechanics. The mechanics are what give the BU the option to read the play and move accordingly. When the BU moves accordingly, the PU covers the other things that the BU left. In other words there is no one size fits all coverage all the time no matter what.
