FED rules. R1 with one out. Ground ball to F4. He throws to F6 to force the runner at second. As F6 is making the throw to F3 there is contact between him and the sliding runner. The throw is late and BR is safe. After the play is over, I ask for time and ask if the contact was beyond the base.
Did F6 actually make the throw?

If so, the question should be directed at the PU. In FED on a FPSR violation it is the PU's responsibility to watch for the interference at second base if there is a throw because the BU is turning away from the play to make the call at first base.

If there was no throw then you can ask the BU.

He says, "Coach, what I have here is accidental interference." This term sounded foreign to me so I ask what he means. He says "Hold on. I will talk with my partner."
There is no such term as 'accidental interference". There is a term called "weak interference" but NOT in any FED interps. In other words FED does not accept the ruling for "weak interference" as does OBR.

He goes to his partner and comes back and says the contact was not beyond the base. I accept this and return to the dugout.
If the contact was NOT beyond the base then in effect there was no interference.

In summary: If the ball was thrown on a FPSR violation you should be asking the PU. Also, no such term as "accidental interference" in FED.
