What you make sure you say is that was no interference. If you say that there was no "intentional interference", well that is a easy appeal.

It is the correct call for ASA. The only way it is not is if the BR does something to actually interfere with the throw. Advancing to 1B by the BR is not an act of interference. When removing the "intent", ASA was relying on their umpires to be intelligent enough to recognize interference and distinguish it from a player just playing.
