And I can assure you that mindset isn't prevalent in PIAA (not sure why the mention of PIAA reminded your of obstruction).
(not to hijack) and speaking of obstruction:
Episode 10
See the play between 1:45 to 2:10. What you got? |
Even with slo-mo, I've got a no-call.
The catcher set up inside the diamond; the runner headed back door fade-away on her own. THEN, the throw took the catcher to the back side, and the throw did beat her, allowing catcher possession before the runner actually arrived.
So, I don't see a hindered or otherwise impeded runner; I see a runner picking where she wants to go, and the catcher making a play.
But, that's just me.
