I don't button hook.
Stay out and keep the ball, the runners and the bases in front of you.
If F7 catches the ball, you have tag up responsibility and the runner is in front of you. If the runner advances, you advance with her. If for some reason, she advances to third, PU should be up the line to make that call.
If F7 doesn't catch the ball, stay put and observe advancing runners, and be prepared to make a call at second base.
If the BU button hooks, there is no way to observe first touch and know when the runner leaves in relation to first touch.
