Your original point said that 7.09 was a good start (I wasn't refering to the rule). Then you said that you didn't know what the Case Book is. I find that very hard to believe.
So your point really was to say that my answer isn't good enough, which it certainly is, if one reads the Case Book interpretation, which is located after the rule. Obstruction is to be called only in cases of flagrant and violent actions, and interference is obvious when it occurs.

Once again, you make it personal instead of just accepting what everyone else did. Your ruling was incomplete. The question inferred "contact". I offered that while you had the right rule if the contact was incidental; it would not be the case if the umpire judged that one of the players intentionally initiated the contact. We don't know that from the play description and I don't want younger umpires think that your ruling was absolute - it wasn't. That was all, I'm sorry you felt slighted.
There is no Case Book for OBR. The closest we have is Carl's tome - the BRD. Jaksa/Roder and Evans also offer nice presentations of plays and the relevant interps. The PBUC manual is handy, but I doubt most have access to it. I have an old BUD manual, but I know that many don't know what that is.
This forum is designed for debate and resolution. You seem to have an issue with anyone who differs from you. Get over it, your answer was not complete. Review your post from October 31, 2005 at 10:59 pm. If that wasn't what you wanted to say, what exactly DID you mean by that?
