If you're going to call interference, you've got to call it right away, no waiting to see what will happen. Tske your F6. R1 on 2nd play for example, suppose you decide to wait, and F6 bobbles the ball, then makes a wild throw to 1st which goes out of play. AAre yu now going to call R1 out for interference when she was no where near F6 when the throw was made? That will be sure to get a rise out of the offensive coaches and fans. As soon as a runner hinders a fielder who is legitimately attempting to field a batted ball, kill the play, call the interference and move on. Everyone will be a lot happier that way.

1)While I don't really consider getting "a rise out of the offensive coaches and fans" or "Everyone will be a lot happier" during a play, the other runner(s) and base coaches need to know if it's an out, especially on the BR because of the force effects.
2) That gets me to another aspect of the original question, not knowing if F2 stopped because of the BR or just poor judgement of the play.
