I'm not so sure that would be a good idea. With three-man under this situation, U3 starts in foul territory beyond third base. U3 would have to essentially pass the runner in the rundown to get the end near second base.
The ASA umpire manual states that most rundowns are covered by one umpire, so U3 should be able to handle it. If you want to bracket under this situation, it would make more sense for U3 to take the third base end from the outside, and U1 to come inside and take the second base end. If there's a follow-on play on R2 going into second or back to first, U1 would take that from inside. The PU could move up to take the call at first, but that would go against anything that is taught.
