Even that was a big flip-flop. At first it was the recommended mechanics, with "advanced crews" allowed to let the BU take both ends. Now, it's the reverse.

I think.

Anyway, in my games, I come up the side of the mound and watch the slide at second. I can always take R1 to third if something strange happens.

I can say conclusively that in 1997, the BU had the interference call at second in PBUC. The umpire was to see the whole play at second and not take his eyes off of the play at second until the middle infielder released the ball to first. In fact, at the UDP (PBUC) camp that year, it was stressed over and over by "Sarge" not to turn to first too quickly because you (the BU) will miss the interference at second.

The PU was to start up the third base line, and when there was an out at second...start back toward 1BL.

It was not until I came back to the college/high school that I became aware that others organizations give a contradictory instruction (allowing PU to call interference at second).

It shouldn't matter either way...if you have a good pre-game with your partner.

Okay, so I'm not wrong, I'm just getting old.
