I agree with those who say that running lane interference is with the fielder taking the throw, not the one making the throw.
There needs to be a play to interfere with - hence the requirement for a quality throw.
Did the runner's position block F3 from seeing the ball and hence timing a stretch / jump to field the throw (interference) or was the throw unplayable (not interference)?
However, I wouldn't complain too much to any partner who made the call as Andy's did - the runner shoulda been in the lane. If she had been, there would have been no call to discuss!
