When OBS turns into an Illegal Block in the Back

Apparently not INT, so not immediate dead ball; but ejection after the play.

BTW, shouldn't you be perpendicular to the runner path, not behind her?

With R1 at 1B and U1 starting behind F4, I didn't have any responsibilities for R1 after she passes 2B and advances to 3B. PU has lead runner at 3B and home here.

Buttonhooking inside from "B" to observe base touches by R1 and BR makes it very hard to be in front of a runner rounding 2B.
