I played at the MiLB level 30 years ago. When I was F8 or F9, our rule was to hit the cutoff man and let him make the decision. If for some reason, I felt compelled to make the throw directly to retire the runner, it had better be on the mark and I better nail that runner. Otherwise, it was shower time and a couple of days collecting splinters in my butt!
Do what you are told, just like umpiring!
