Assume that the calls are the same for most organizations, but let’s use ASA interpretations. What is your call:
A – F2 attempts to finesse throw just missing B-R, but F4 cannot pick up path of ball quick enough to make a catch.

Interference on the BR. Dead ball with BR out!

B – F2 tries to put ball over the top of B-R, but only succeeds in sending it over the top of F4.

C – F2 raises her arm to throw, but gives up and does not throw.

Hmmmm.....HTBT. From what I am getting here, I am likely to allow play to continue.

D – F2 makes a medium speed throw that hits B-R in the middle of the lower back. (In your mind the ball would not have reached 1B in flight due the low trajectory.)

Another HTBT, but, quite possibly I would have interference on the BR, dead ball and BR out.

E – F2 hesitates, steps to the left to find a clear throwing lane and guns the ball to F4, but too late.
