I would be interested to hear what the schools say about this now.
Evans' new book says both are fine, just pregame it (sorry to spoil it! but really, buy it!)
So clearly, some upper people think PU taking B/R is cool. Others obviously feel differently.
As for people who say they never go into foul as BU, well... its in the book that you should and I can't believe that MiLB guys aren't aware of this mechanic or refuse to use it. If you don't in certain situations, you are either a) getting a ball to the back of your head b) getting trampled by B/R c) can't see BR contact the front of the bag.
The pressure debate that has started has surprised me, to say the least. I can change my mind, but nothing I have read here so far has done it!
As for my OP, good healthy discussion! I can see both ways, guess the best thing to do is just pregame and communicate. If I was BU I wouldn't be mad if PU took the ball, and vice versa. As long as I knew it
