If we're talking about a tag play, then you're correct, collisions are often nothing more than a wreck. But when a fielder going after a batted ball or a muffed ball and a runner have a collision, that's something - just about all the time. With the batted or muffed ball collision, one player has the right to be there and the other must yield.
In the Busher's play, the words "boots" and "scrambled" lead me to picture this as being more than a "step and a reach". And that is the same guideline that I use - I think most of us use that or something that means pretty much the same thing.
Busher - I missed that this was your first post. Welcome aboard.
