In Fed, if a runner on 2B is stealing when the catcher obstructs the batter's swing, the batter is awarded 1B and the runner is awarded 3B. If the runner on 2B is not stealing, she stays at 2B.

I can't seem to find a parallel ruling in ASA. Does anybody know for certain whether ASA gives the runner 3B?

As I remember, ASA does award home to a runner stealing home on a catcher's obstruction play.

Also, does anyone know whether the coach gets his choice of the obstruction or the result of the play if the ball is not hit? Example: Runner on 3B, not stealing. Batter swings and knocks the catcher's glove off. Ball goes back to the screen and the runner is able to score. Even though the batter did not hit the ball, does the coach get to choose the result of the "play"? The consensus on the baseball thread was that the coach does NOT get a choice, and the runner has to go back. But ASA may be different.
