I don't see how that alone answers it. Was A77 interfering with B56's opportunity to move toward or play the ball? If A77's block made no difference on that score, it's not interference. You'd have to have some idea as to where the players were in relationship to the pass, where they were moving, and what they were trying to do. Same as obstructing a player's path to the ball on an opponent's kick.
