Now I understand why!

On the one hand, we have an umpire who calls obstruction when there was obviously no reason to and on the other hand, we have someone who worries where the ball is in order to call obstruction.

Yes, I now agree that you have to be an umpire in order to understand and call interference and obstruction.

Pithy remarks, but it is relevant where the ball is. Is it obstruction and is it type A or type B (if an OBR game). If you don't think the ball's location is relevant, well, perhaps we can find an umpire to explain it to you.
