How are you going to explain to a coach your reason for not calling obstruction? You may not like the rule in this particular situation, but it is our job to enforce the rules as written.

In the original play there was no mention if a throw coming in from the OF, so why do you bring that into the question/play. This reminds me of one of our meetings when someone as a question and we start getting 8-10 What is's.
