Well as my user name says I call ASA and FED so I am not sure about NCAA, but what bothers me about this call is the following. I agree that runner should have been in the running lane sooner, if the throw would have been earlier then I would have agreed with it. BUT when the throw was made and when the INT was judged the runner had 1 foot on the line(in the running lane) and the other on the base, which the runner is allowed to come into fair territory when they get close to the base, got to in order to touch the base as it is in fair territory. So that is why I can't see INT here. I also (again I am using FED and ASA) say that in that case you would have OBS on that play not INT, the fielder did not have control of the ball when they hindered the runner. Again that is based on the angle I saw was that when the contact was made BR had one foot on line and other on base.....again JMO.
How would others rule this if it was ASA or FED? Is there something different from these two codes that makes this a good call in NCAA???
