Is this questionable?

I didn't envision the play that way in my mind's eye, but I can see how that could be what happened.

Still, relativley few leagues play under "pure OBR" (most have some "don't crash the catcher" rule), and the OP hasn't been back, so we don't know what really happened, or what rules code was being used, so we don't know whether the umpires were correct.

Our modified OBR leagues use the NCAA collision rule at home and true OBR on 1b,2b,3b...under the NCAA collision rule, would we have OBS in this sitch?

The NCAA collision rule has nothing to do with whether there is obstruction -- only with how to deal with it if there is obstruction.

If you use the NCAA (or FED) obstruction rule, it's obstruction. If you use the OBR obstruction rule, it isn't.

okay, thanks for clarifying Bob. Basically NCAA OBS says that if there's no ball in the glove you have to allow access to home plate...is that accurate?
