You're still talking only about seeing the play at second. The discussion is about keeping everything in front of you.

I quess your UIC doesn't mind if the PU just hangs out at home. Maybe someone should explain to him/her, and you for that matter, that the subsequent play at 3rd should be covered by the PU.
Unfortunately, since I do live in the Houston area, this wouldn't surprise me of some of the UICs/assignors I know.
