I couldn't disagree with this statement more. If no interference occurs, how can you call interference? That's like issuing a team warning during the pregame meeting. If we could tell the future, we wouldn't be umpires.

In all other interference plays, we kill the play right now without waiting for another other action to affect our call. But in this play, we want to let it play out before deciding interference or not.

Now, am I the only one reading the second half of this paragraph as a complete contradiction to the first half?
