If F3 has decided to be a spectator with their foot attached to the base when there is absolutely no prospect of a play - and there is contact with a runner rounding the bag - that runner is doing what they are allowed to be doing - I'm not mind reading intentional or not- that is obstruction by rule.
If the runner shoulders her and/or makes it blatant with some over the top physical attack of some sort - that is USC ... other than that... if it falls short of a malicious thing warranting immediate ejection..
Some contact .. happens. I'm not helping the defense be bone heads nor protecting their bone head positioning.
I OBS on that play... and no warning to the offense is likely. Thats good coaching and running IMO.
OBS - heres your free shot at 2nd, lets do this.
