In fairness to your original call, CecilOne, the book clearly says that "runners are never required to slide." If it appeared to you that the runner was making a legitimate attempt to reach 2B standing up, then you probably wouldn't have INT. If for example he beat the throw standing up, stopped on the bag, and merely stood on it, the fielder would then have to throw around him. But if he stayed up running so fast that he couldn't possibly have stopped on 2B—or if after being put out he ran upright into 2B, especially if he made contact with the fielder—he was trying to interfere. These are definitely HTBT plays.
Remember that the OP involved a runner nowhere near 2B and committing no "act."
