interference???

The HTBT part is you arent being clear, even with your clarification above if there was contact off the base and/or if on the base, the possibility of intent.

Any contact whatsoever while the runner was off the base is INT. An ump can call INT while on the base but that is a judgement call.

Eitherway, the play as you describe is obviously a close play/call - HTBT - not necessarily a bad call, even if you adjust it further off the bag to obtain an unanimous INT on this board.
