So, my first question is: Why is U1 also following the ball? That's particularly relevant, I think, when there is no doubt about where the ball will drop: in this case, the 45-foot line

-----------------------------------------------------------
Don’t really know other than it was a mistake in judgement on the part of U1.

Regardless of the mistake or what U1 may or may not have seen or thought he saw, to get him out of A or where the ball might end up. Neither the UIC nor U1 saw the interference. U2 followed his instinct to get into a position to cover the field. Unfortunately he saw something that was not covered under instinct. He was in the wrong position to make a judgement call as to witch fielder had the best play on the ball. The question now is not who’s call, but should U2 have made the call anyhow?
