In the scenario described in the OP, not sure how that's possible. NFHS rules allow the ODB to leave the circle to direct runners coming home.

Would you rule INT if F1 were backing up the play, and the ODB gets hit, preventing F1 from fielding the throw and possibly making a play on R2? Or does the provision of the ODB to direct runners protect her from something unintentional?
