I agree: not standard. Carl Childress has suggested the option of BU to be in B in EVERY situation with runners on. I've always wanted to try it.
I don't know whether I count as an "upper level" umpire, but I often move to B with R3 only regardless of outs. In the games I work, I can't recall the last time I saw a pickoff at 3B, which is the only rationale for starting in C.
