obstruction

If F2 had initially caught the ball... we would have had an out.

F2 bobbled the catch but remained in the basepath.

Without a catch the runner would have scored... except for the basepath being obstructed by F2. That's Obstruction!

Say! I haven't been here in awhile...

I recently attended a baseball clinic. The clinicians were saying that we should no longer show the delayed dead ball signal (beer can at arm's length) but should just yell "That's Obstruction!" and let play continue. Anybody hear of any similar guidance or has ASA/NFHS made a similar mechanic's change?
