Where on eofficials did you find the question? If it was from the (periodic) NCAA quizzes, then I think those are put on the site by Dave Yeast.

I agree with Dave wholeheartedly -- I would be tossing people if I *didn't* call the interference.
But as is seen here, there are good umpires who disagree and professionals who used to, as well. A few case plays in the rule book dealing with this play would eliminate all the ambiguity, but I figure that will happen long after we are all dead and gone.
Heading to the Netherlands today to umpire a tournament next week. See youze when I get back.
I am in the Fronny/Hensley camp on this, simply by using the CS&FP rulebook.

the question was part of a practice quiz under the testing section.
