I would like to post some of his questions that he asked me about the play and would like your comments (lots of them).
I have a game fee bet on this, so I welcome all comments.
First Question, Was there contact?
Second Question, What did the runner do?
I will elaborate on the discussion later.

Again, I have a game fee bet on this with him and any and all comments welcome.

First question might not matter -- you don't need contact to have INT. If there is contact, it will almost certainly be INT.
Third question also doesn't matter -- intent is not needed for INT with a protected fielder.
