This happened this w/e - I called DB INT R1 out.
We lost a coach for that call too.
After the game, PU said he supported me because we were partners but it was a blown call.
Call discussed in depth with several umps post game, not a single umpire agreed with rule application.. so my feeling was I got it wrong..
The feeling was no INT - fielder had her protection up to the point she didnt make the initial play.

Now, if F4 had possession of the ball, it wouldn't be INT, but just placing a glove over a ball is nothing, but a ball in the shade.
Ask your partner why he didn't call OBS?
Sounds like INT to me. I am not aware of any "initial play" caveat in ASA's rules.
