BU covering home?

[WestMichiganBlue]

Here is a mechanic that worked well for us, but the Tournament UIC wasn't happy with the BU covering home. What do you think?

ASA 18U feature game under lights, two strong teams, mostly college players. Lead off batter hits towering fly to deep L-Center field. As PU, I am all the way to SS area trying to find the ball in a dark area of the outfield. F8 goes down, I am looking for ball, finally see F7 pick up ball and fire home.

Obviously no catch, but now B-R is rounding 3B. Partner, who went inside and is taking the B-R to 3B is now inside me. I yell at him to go home, which he does. Throw from F7 beats B-R by a mile and she heads back for 3B. I move over and take the tag out call at 3B.

Both of us end up in perfect position to make a call - but we are reversed.
