My question is: what happens if a runner that is obstructed is obviously tagged out before he reaches the base you are giving him? What do you signal? A simple safe mechanic? Is there another? What do you say when this happens?

I know in OBR when this happens, the play is dead right there. How do we handle this in NFHS?
Announce "Thats Obstruction" when it happens. Give and hold signal.(delayed dead ball)

Wait to all playing action is over then say "Time, I have obstruction on (defensive player)", and award bases accordingly.
