Garth IMO your statement above is what is going to be difficult to enforce.

What is F3 supposed to do on an errant throw?

If he tries and fields it but in doing so collides with the runner BEFORE acquiring actual possession he will be guilty of OBS.

His only other recourse would be to simply let the ball go which can have other consequences associated with it.

Let's see what happens this year and maybe we or at least I am making a big deal over nothing.
