In a contrary instance, a few years ago in an MLB game, U3 called a bounding batted ball which landed fair behind the base a foul ball. He insisted the ball passed the base over foul territory. Wish I could find a video of it. As expected, the offense went crazy but the call stood.

No B/R; is it there or not? NCAA game: It's not in use. ASA JO game: Double base likely to be in use.

Yes, but so what if I hadn't, the definition of foul ball doesn't change just because the umpire has never seen a ball bound over 1st or 3rd base before.

Is fair/foul not a determination made which affects a batter-runner?

He later clarified that he meant safety base in place or not ("NCAA game: It's not in use. ASA JO game: Double base likely to be in use."), also no effect if ball strikes the same exact coordinates.
