It might not be the "right" way to judge this, but I mentally approach U3K+INT as the following:
1. Did the BR move in a way judged to intentionally contact the ball?
2a. Before contact, did any defender have an opportunity to make a play on the ball?
2b. Did the BR's contact with the ball apply an impetus to the ball that resulted in interfering with the defense's opportunity to make a play?
If the answer to either #1 or #2a AND #2b is "Yes", I have a dead ball and an out. Otherwise, play on.
