If the plate umpire sees a tag play forming then the plate umpire should close down to tag play calling depth and make said call.

I do not understand why U1 would be out on a ball hit so sharp and close that there would be a throw back to 1B. If it was deep ball, U3 should have plenty of time to get into position to see the play and make the call.

The Question that was put up here was about NCAA mechanics. The reason I sarcastically responded to your 80 ft base comment was because again its not going to ever be the case ( unless the game COMPLETELY CHANGES) that in a NCAA womens softball that we will have an 80 ft base path. I don't understand why you would throw the 80 ft into a question about NCAA mechanics.

Apparently, comprehension isn't a strong suit with you either. There were 13 (of 14) follow up posts mentioning ASA and/or NFHS prior to my first response and I specifically noted the query was for NCAA.
My more recent post was simply my opinion of the NCAA mechanic. "Opinions" are another thing we do on this forum. Then, silly me, I thought an offer of a distance comparison with which I, and a handful or so other umpires, are familiar might help. Guess not.
