Yeah, I know coach, the catcher moved into his path, but you runner still should of avoided the collision. Not me, I am calling obs on catcher and awarding runner home. That seems better than a no call.

The catcher has a right to the position when a play is "imminent". The ball is 10 feet away (according to your description) -- that's about .1 second (depending on the speed of the throw, of course). That's "imminent" in my book.
