DPI?
One of the things our association gave us on certain philosophies is that there has to be an "obvious intent to impede" for it to be DPI and that contact isn't necessarily DPI.
Our white hat said the umpire got it right, I'm just curious as to what your philosophy is (I know you didn't see the play, I tried to describe it as best I could).

I agree that it sounds like DPI. The act by B does not have to be intentional for it to be DPI. And, as previously mentioned, the act of "coming through" the receiver, to me, says that this is DPI.
