IMO the word abnormal complicated everything.

Stepping back after the catcher has the pitch, even if the batter is still in the box, is very normal, but he is still responsible for his movements as to not interfere. So any normal movement would still be considered interference.

Which I think Matt was trying to emphasize.

As most have said, you'll know it when you see it!

Well, that opinion is contrary to the MLBUM, JEA, and J/R interpretations.

Well, it's not.

Yes, he is. You're going to let a batter move after a swing and interfere with a throw?

Sigh. Sure, ok - you are right. EVERYONE else is wrong. (Hint: USUALLY when that happens and you're not in a room full of morons (this room is not), don't you think you should bother to check with someone YOU trust to make sure you're right? Your interp is wrong - at every level.)
