I use this as a rule of thumb for a fielder's position in the base path as a runner and a throw comes in...

Was the fielder there because the throw was there (nothing)

OR

Was the throw there because the fielder was there (obstruction)

In other words, if the fielder set up in the base path and that's why the throw was there, it's usually obstruction. If the fielder had to step into the base path to catch the throw, it's usually not.
