During one of the HS clinics I was told that as long as the fielder does nothing, nothing can be called. You have to watch the play , react to the play, call the results. The retired runner staying in fair territory would in my opinion, be cause for interference "if a play was made". At this level, the players know what is going on and know how to react to the situation, if they fail to play, they mad a choice. We can not as umpires, read their minds nor judge what they might do until they do it.
