Hmm,
I guess I am too practical:
When there is a play at first base my "B" position (most likely) is located somewhere near the 1st base side of the mound. I don't make calls at first standing on the base.
If I am near the mound (and adjusting to make MY CALL at first) I am not within probably 20' of the base (as noted I am closer to the mound than 1st base) because I believe in angle over distance.
So when the play is made to third I am now only crossing over the mound (3 or 4 steps) and make the call.
And I certainly think the PU needs to stay on the first base lone longer than you do.
Regards,
