I admit that I'm not any kind of NCAA rules expert, but I tend to agree with Bob J. on this one.
What he quoted is basically a definition of INT. That's an offensive violation. OBS is defensive. The fact that it's mentioned to include verbal in INT, I would personally interpret that to include OBS on the defense. Based strictly on what has been posted.

Correct me if that's wrong. I will look into the NCAA rule book this weekend to see if it spells anything out.
