				How much contact in too much?
			 
 
			
			How much contact does there need to be between a baserunner and a fielder who is attempting to field the ball before interference is called?
 I had on with some contact in a FED game today.  When the coach asked if there was contact I told him that there was not enough contact for me to call interference.  When he then asked how much contact there needs to be I realized that maybe any contact at all is cause for interference so I changed my answer to "In my judgement, there was no contact."  I knew that using the phrase "in my judgement" would stop the discussion there.
