Let's take it a step further:
R2 and no outs. The shortstop sets up a step or two behind the runner leading off the base. He slaps his mitt every time the pitcher glances back at the runner. He says "Back" at the same time he slaps the mitt. How many of you would call this Obstruction according to Fed guidelines? NCAA? OBR?

Carl,
My response was to Windy's post. He specifically asked about a fielder yelling "back."
This would constitute verbal obstruction.
