Q. Would it be interference if the player crashes into the catcher at home plate when the catcher receives the ball just as the runner is reaching home?
A. That seems like the catcher was "about to receive", as how else could the catcher receive the ball just as the runner is reaching home. If the runner is out anyway, no call, maybe a warning about crashing. But if the crash causes the catcher (or any fielder) to lose the ball or lose position, then it sounds like interference (given the usual YHTBT).
