Interesting point, Steve. However, since runners can advance at their own risk on an IFF, isn't the runner interferring with the pop up due to the fact that a misplayed pop allows the runner to advance without tagging?
Golly. I'm not even sure I understand that sentence. Hopefully you will.
My point is, there is a defensive advantage to fielding an IFF and if not allowed to do so, the interference would be on the pop-up as well as a subsequent play.
