That's not how I'm reading it. If he physically obstructs the runner, then sure that's OBS but all I'm seeing in this is an action to make the runner think there's a play being made on him. That's a deke and legal in OBR.

A fake tag is not illegal in pure OBR like it is in FED and probably many of the alphabet soup derivations of OBR. Not even FED outlaws all types of dekes.
