Sorry. I must have mis read. In any event, I don't think the starting position (B or C) has much bearing on this play. If the first move is to the working area, (as it should be), then the drop step will work fine to get the umpire to third.

Surely I don't want PU at 3rd when a run is coming in to score...

Agreed. so, if BU can get both ends when there's R3, why can't he get both ends when there isn't? PU still has a job to do and can be waiting for a play at teh plate on an overthrow (and F3 typically has the worst arm in the infield).

So, I will do what I'm told. What other choice do I have?

Depending on your "stature" in the association, I agree you need to do what you're told.
