I seem to recall a thread of a year or two ago where the issue of the defense playing through the interference and making further outs was discussed, and one member suggested we should not be so fast in declaring the ball dead to avoid rewarding the offense for the violation.
One downside (besides not following taught mechanics) is it may make it appear the umpire is biased or at least making up his calls to suit the situation.
For example, if you wait, but the defense does NOT make the play, and you then call interference late, do you appear to be deciding after the fact to call the runner out?
