Just remember, the rule book does NOT discuss INTENT. Either you interfer or you don't. If you do there is a penalty to pay.
I consider this a bread & butter call that separates the good umpires from the mediocre. It almosts never fails after I make that call, that the catcher states that it is seldom called. I don't know how true it really is but, to me it is one of those "never fail to call rules" that show that you really know what your doing back there.
