I agree that BU should come inside (in case of a throw back to 2B), but any play at 3B belongs to the BU.

I should have been more specific. My reference was to getting inside which shouldn't be that difficult.

On a wild throw on the steal, the BU comes inside, but not to cover 3B. The PU should pick up the runner going to 3B. If the PU cannot get to 3B for some reason, the BU needs to be ready to help and just being inside gives the BU a better shot than the PU 60' away.
