Here White likely wouldn't have stepped up under the gun with the 32 roll, right?

It's probably academic, because White should pass whether she played U with her 32 to reach the diagram or whether she had instead played Z (reverse split, bar/23 13/10). But if she is going to (incorrectly) take, or if Blue fails to cube -- in other words if the game is going to continue..., then yes, White's Z is better than U (according to XGR++ eval).

That said, if White entered with 41 instead of 32, and the game is going to continue, then she made the right play. U (Up, bar/21 24/23) was better than H (Hit, bar/23 6/2*).

In the (perfectly played) captioned sequence, 52S can sub for 54S.

It's also possible that White's last move was entering two checkers with 42 (forced). For example, 51S-65R-62R-21H-33H-32H-F-33A-42-C.
