Thanks for the replies.
I looked further last night & found this comment on "delayed dead ball" in the NFHS case book: "... the umpire, at the end of playing action, declares the ball dead, for the purpose of making an award or imposing a penalty." It doesn't say "at the end of the play on the obstructed runner," but "at the end of playing action," so if a runner is going from 2B to 3B as the obstruction occurs, I'd say the "playing action" ends when she reaches 3B (or is tagged out -- she shouldn't be protected because there's obs. on another runner).
