F2/R1 collision or is it obs?

[Little Jimmy]

Two things. First of all in the casebook play cited ( NFHS 8-4-3 E ) obstruction would seem to be the clear choice given this years emphasis. What happens with that play if you add that the ball then ricochets directly from the cage to the catcher who then slaps a tag on the runner who hasn't reached home? Doesn't that have to be obstruction?

Secondly, and this may just be a pet peeve of mine, but in the four years I've been reading the Fed casebook I see almost no changes from year to year except for the new rule additions. Very little ( if any ) rewording of plays or different scenarios to keep it fresh. It might make it more interesting/challenging if they could mix it up a bit.
