As far as I know, it would only be an illegal slide and therefore interference if he made contact with the fielder beyond the bag or if it was a pop-up slide (if that is illegal in legion, i'm not sure)...without the ball however, it would appear that the runners slide was legal. He does have the right to the base as Steve pointed out. I have a board meeting on monday and I'll ask some of the senior guys about it and see what they say and get back to you.
