Here is the answer gaven
This was stated very clearly from Henry Pollard "If at the time the obstruction occured you determined that you were protecting the runner to 3rd and no matter if you misjudged or something else would happen on the play(error) and the runner was put out even on a very close play at home, You would call the runner OUT...
Dont know of Gary(Ntxblue)had the same discussion in his group but Henry made this point very clear at the time of the obstruction you gave the delayed dead ball signal and you determine at that time how far you will protect and if it was just bad judgement or something else happen on the play afterwards it didnt matter. If the runner went past your predetermine base and got put out then the out would stand no matter how close the play was
Dont agree but it is how I and others in the room heard it stated
