			My view is that this is absolute OBS in NFHS.  No longer an initial play, and the runner was clearly impeded by a fielder without the ball.  In ASA, I also see obstruction, because the fielder didn't have the ball, and couldn't make an out without impeding the runner first.  But, in the ASA ruling, I have to admit it is close enough to consider in live time that the fielder may have had a play, so no call or even INT may be a live time call that is defendable by rule.
