If this is black and white, in A) I have a second train wreck and the fielder can make the tag. In B) I have obstruction and send the runner back to the previous base. [On the grounds that without the obstruction she is tagged out.] Is that the way you'd like a young ump like myself learn to call this?

Just getting settled back in after a two-week vacation and finally catching up on some of the threads I've missed.
Interesting thread (and the theme here is one I remember being kicked around when the "about to receive" clause was removed a few years ago).
Surprisingly, no one seemed to have a comment for YoungUmp's placement of the the obstructed runner (quoted/noted above...).
