You can keep running to the base after you're out and that isn't considered interference.
It isn't considered interference if he slides into the fielder.
I'm with SDS - that's how slides are taught - on the butt, semi-sitting, hands up.
If you slide legally (and he did) why would you consider that interference.
The fielder has to expect the runner to be there.
And,as a coach I have to consider it from both the offensive and defensive perspectives.

I agree. No INT. Everything was legal and he did not put himself in the way of the throw intentionally. F6 took it for granted b/c regular players usually get down earlier and are much shorter. He got taught a lesson to clear the base more or mix it up and cause the runners to have to think more about what they do. Just a bad play on F6.
