OBS can be a touchy subject with me as I work with umpires who just won't call it - and when I do coaches think I'm speaking chinese, even though their F3 is standing on the freaking bag 12 times a game as runners try to run around them.
No offense taken.

So is it your assesment that the OP under FED would be ruled obstruction but under OBR would be a HTBT?

Thanks for the correction. One of these days I'll have to break down and study the FED book in addition to OBR
Don't do it, unless you have a real need.

That can explain why the coach emphatically told me that I "was dead wrong" and that it "is a no-call". With different rule sets, slight changes in the language will make a big difference in who is protected where. I thought I had a good grasp on Fed rules from reading the rules book, case book, and that book that NFHS sells with all the PlayPics. Still, nothing quite like this. Good confidence-builder to see it dissected and discussed. Thanks, everyone!
