I am. So is every NCAA umpire and any wanabe's that have attended their clinics. It is NOT to address the tag-up situation you brought up. It requires intent. You should be thinking, a fielder standing directly next to the runner and actively hindering his view. NOT just merely being in the path.

I've heard of a play where F6 cuts in front of a leading-off runner at second to screen his vision from F1 just as F1 attempts a pickoff with F4 covering. Maybe they were concerned with this particular situation? I dunno...
