B-R's incorrect position/location on the basepath clearly caused F2 to move further out in the field in order to have a possible play at 1B; that is why I thought interference on B-R would be the call.

Thanks for all of the information. Your answers to all of my questions have really helped me out this year (first year). Just one other comment about above situation. During high school season (NFHS rules), I thought that veteran umps instructed me that B-R running outside of the running lane (especially inside foul line) was technically always an out on B-R but usually not called unless a play was being made at 1B. Is there a difference in this rule or interpretation of the rule between ASA and NFHS or is it the same in both as you have explained?
Stairs,
I going to trust my memory of the Fed book here. Read the rule, I think it's Rule 8, Section 4, maybe Article D. The wording of Fed's rule and ASA's rule is essentially the same. Go by what your state body is telling you to call, but I tell the folks in my chapter that the interference is with the catch, not the throw.
