Steve,
As you know, the BU is to watch the runner, not the ball. If the weather is nice and they take you outside at the school, this MAY be one of the exercises they run you through. We often use it in our state school. The purpose is to try to convert the student from a spectator to an umpire.
That is one of the hardest things to instill in a new umpire. Forget the ball and do your job, and it drives some of the new guys crazy :-)
