True ... actually, no such thing as a throwing lane at all.

The same can be said with the throwing lane at third.
What's a throwing lane?

The coach might complain that she was in the throwing lane.
I'd say there's no such thing as a throwing lane.

I might even call interference if the batter knows shes in the way and doesn't move and the catcher has to move to throw the ball around here delaying her throw and giving the runner time to make it to third. Would you call interference in that situation?
At this point, I think we're mostly in agreement. You CAN call interference if she KNOWS she's in the way, AND is not in the box, AND doesn't move.

Where the catcher moves to throw around the batter who is in the throwing lane?
There's no such thing as a throwing lane.
