You are correct on the 2nd situation about going to the umpire on the line. On the first situation, NCAA mechanic with no one on base is to go to the open umpire on the line. While the batter originally went to 1B, there was no one on base when the call had to be made, so if it was a check swing, the correct mechanic would have been to go to the 3B umpire. We still do not know for sure this is what was asked, it might have been, but don't assume this is what was asked, it could have been something else
