There seems to be a lot of chatter in the NFHS community that the new obstruction rule (removal of "about to receive") requires that obstruction be called anytime a defender without the ball moves into the path of a runner and you have contact. Doesn't matter that the runner had no chance to avoid the contact; a narrow or strict intrepretation of the rule says that is OBS.

OK, ASA umpires - you've had a year of experience with this rule. Is everything now obstruction? Or are you still allowing for accidental contact (train wreck)?
