from above:
"1. Could very well be obstruction if anyone other than F3 is more likely to field the ball.
2. If F3 leaves the area where she attempted to receive the ball, the call would most likely be obstruction which is dropped the moment the BR becomes a runner unless the ball bounded far enough away that I believed the runner could have easily reached 2B safely."
These were the actual calls, although I dropped the OBS in #2 as soon as the BR passed F3 and I'm still not convinced that F3 had finished attempting to catch the throw (the HTBT part). That doesn't make them gospel, but we generally seem to be together. BTW, I thought #1 was especially good for a rookie ump, and he also handled the coach's disagreement very well.
