I believe the moment an umpire comes inside the diamond on a play like this, they are out of position. There is a possible play at every base. It is very possible that the thrower and receiver could be on a base, up the line or down the line which means the umpire never knows if they are in a throwing lane or not.

I'll stick with my original opinion here. U3 comes into fair territory as an extra set of eyes, but never to the point of losing the angle needed if there is a throw to 3B.
