If she made that much of an effort to draw the contact, she wasnt really obstructed, and then tell the coach the same thing.
If they really want to argue it tell them the next time you see an obvious attempt to creat contact you will get them for USC or malicious contact.

Right, but thats exactly where its touchy.. that 1B should not be there... thus limiting how the BR may round 1b.. thus OBS...
an ejection, while I've rattled it in my head - especially on the run down one I heard recently - I dont think that would be a supported remedy in my area and I wouldnt want to be explaining that one. The runner never went out of her way to hit a fielder and in fact there was no oBS call in the run down; but it speaks to the fact that coaches (around here anyway) have finally learned the OBS rule, and they are now working it.
