Please explain. Was there contact? You said neither fell down, but we are left with a rather vague description of being "blocked."
jack's comments to the contrary, there needs to be a better explanation of this. I've had many, many coaches describe the defense as "blocking" their runners when they were doing no such thing.
You infer that F4 caused your runner to delay ("allowing ... time") - pause, stutter-step, go-around, - if so, that would be OBS.
OTOH, merely being in the baseline (or path) without the ball is not (yet) OBS. Impeding the runner without the ball is OBS.
