Been out of town, missed good discussion.
Bottom line is ... when F2's initial throw retires a runner, the interference is disregarded. This includes an aborted attempt on an initial try and a subsequent throw to another base.
I know that FED and NCAA penalize where the initial attempt, or try, failed.
I can only share what was taught, tested and drilled into our mushy heads.
Initially, in an earlier post, I didn't describe very well what I was thinking. If the interference prohibits a throw being made, you can enforce the interference penalty, unless a subsequent throw, hence initial, retires a runner.
