This was ASA. I used Rule 8.7.J.3, interference with the thrown ball to break up the double play. There was clearly interference on the play, just not malicious interference. The offensive coach immediate concern was about if his player would be ejected for malicious contact. The defense coach (who was a butt for the whole game) was only concern was about his catcher (who was briefly shaken up) and did not pursue a malicious contact call.
