Now, having said that, if it actually happens, PU would get great kudos for covering 2nd as an adjustment.

NCAA makes it a standard coverage if/when it happens (with a perceived higher level BU making the decision to stay foul ground, mind you). I would expect MB to react on that basis, no matter what the game on YouTube represented.

As I thought and why I asked.

As does USSSA.
