No. You get to 3B anticipating the tag up. Then, you will have the force out as well. Are you waiting to see if he tags before going to 3B? If so, you are waiting too long. The force and tag are PU b/c it involves the R2 with BU staying at 2B for R1 and possibly BR.
Get to 3B and be ready for the play whether it is a force or tag. It sounds like the BU is not the only one with poor mechanics. And, no double call if your partner hears "I've got 3B! I've got 3B!" Then, he knows PU has 3B.
