The one thing to remember about obstruction is that it is a violation by the defense.
If a defensive coach is arguing that killing the play denies a chance to get other outs, remind him that his team violated, why should he potentially profit from that?
If you have any doubt about where to place runners or award bases after an obstruction call, give the benefit to the offensive team. The halfway between bases guideline is good, but if in doubt, award the advance base.
