Why that side of the diamond? Though a throw back to 1B is possible, the higher priority call is more likely to be @ 3B

Throw goes home, then back to 2nd. BU gets as far outside as possible, good angle to throw.
Outside what?

Is it acceptable at that point to be directly in the base line even though usually taboo?
I wouldn't recommend it simply because when defenders go to make a play on a subsequent runner at the trail base, it is a possibility that throw may be right down that base line. Get a good angle, but be aware of your are on the field in relation to subsequent plays.
