When I attended pro school the base umpire had both ends of the play. We were also taught to get across the to the first base side of the feild on all grounds balls. Then let the throw if there is one take you back across the diamond into third or second. I still use this mech. and go over it before every game in my pregame no mater if i am PU or BU. We need to be on the same page when we step out on the feild as the third team.
