Intent to do what?
If the umpire determines the player deprived the defense from a possible out, then it's interference whether there is intent or not.
If there is no possible play, then there is no INT regardless of intent.
Remember, a possible play by the defense is still umpire judgment.
I don't believe there is anything that has been noted here that would indicate an USC ruling.
