Ever? On a play like this one. Angle is critical on tags, often on catches, occasionally on forces. But on THIS play, where PU's primary is not a tag, catch, or force ... how would angle have affected him at all? Even if it would, 3 steps one way or the other changes his angle on a play that's 85ish feet away, what, 7 degrees? I can't even imagine a play where 7 degrees is the difference between seeing and not seeing obstruction, 85 feet away.

hrmmm... the greater the distance looked at , the more a lesser degree change is going to impact what you can or cannot see? ........ epiphany....
I'm not gonna quibble about this any more...... we can discuss .034" and .00005 degrees till we are blue in the face...
I simply contend that, the poster was in the wrong place BECAUSE he was trying to obtain an un-needed piece for his partner (pulled foot) thereby not focusing on his primary and missing the possible obstruction.... possible, because the coach said it happend... more possible because the umpire couldnt say it didnt happen.
have a great weekend.
