If the second baseman reads the third base runner on the way to the cut
spot she (the second baseman) can determine whether to cut or let the throw go through. Same as you mentioned but not predetermined. A good college team should be able to run that play effectively. I have used that play intermittently in travel and high school over the years depending on the skill level of the team. And I got that play from a guy who taught CST quite a lot.

You named two key factors - know your opponent and work on it in practice.
