There's a reason for that running lane. This runner clearly had both feet inside the line (i.e. on the fair side of the line) the whole way.

BTW, I don't have a problem if you don't want to call INT, for INT is a judgement call.
Now, I realize that this play had little or no effect on the game.

That said, BR, after avoiding the ball, was angled straight to the lane and then veered left to intentionally "attempt" to interfere with the throw. If it was not intentional she would not have taken her first step at the beginning of the lane to the left.
