In FED, you are required to keep the ball alive until ALL playing action has stopped. It's not like OBR where you kill it when the obstructed runner is tagged out.
When the initial obstruction occurs, yell "That's Obstruction," then give the delayed dead ball sign.
When the runner is tagged out, keep the DDB sign up, point and say "safe on obstruction" and keep the ball alive.
I've yet to hear a FED interp be released on the proper way to handle this when obstruction occurs. I'm going to ask my state interpreter at a clinic in mid-March.
Maybe Tee can shed some light on this since he's so closely involved with the NFHS...
