Reading bossman's play description, I think this would be Type A obstruction in OBR. Do you disagree?

Welpe,

Per bossman's description, this is definitely "Type A" Obstruction under OBR rules; it's an immediate dead ball and the R2 would be awarded 3B and the R3 would be awarded home because he was "forced" by R2's award.
