I will check to verify this, but I do believe that Tim Stevens, the Washington State Head FED Clinician and rule interpreter received an email from Elliot Hopkins last year specifically instructing FED umpires to call verbal obstructino on any incident of the defense saying "back, back" to a runnner on base.
We can argue over whether or not Kyle still has a legitimate voice with FED, but Hopkins role is indisputable.
