I waited my tradtional half-beat. THEN F6 tags R2.
I wait a quarter-beat and call R2 out, with no INT call.
Defensive skip politely questions the call, mainly because R3 scored on the play (F6, obviously, made no other play after the tag).
I'm fine with what I did. And I realize it's pure judgment. BUT, an INT call stops the run from scoring--should I have penalized the offense by calling the INT, even though F6 did field the ball?
Hmmmmm.

I would have probably called the interference at the moment of contact. Just kind of instinctively - contact, even non-malicious, kind of cries out for a call.
But any landing you walk away from is a good one, so if it worked for you without serious incident, rock on.
