Thought that was common knowledge when ISF changed the rule just about this time last year.

ISF dictates that if the defender does not have possession of the ball prior to impeding the runner's advance or retreat, obstruction is the call. No other options. ISF 1.53.b and 8.7.b of the 2002-2005 book.

This was a proposed ASA rule change last season, with the support of many in the coaching ranks. I'm not sure if it made it out of committee or not, but it was not passed for one reason or another.
