When does INT become OBS or does it??

Here's the play I had a few weeks ago....

R1 on second, one out, ground ball hit to F6.
F6 runs toward R1 as she has led off second with the pitch. R1 is retreating to second. After a few steps, F6 realizes that she will not be able to reach R1 for a tag play and throws to first for the out. F3 catches the ball and fires across the diamond to third to get R1 advancing from second for the third out.

Third base coach comes out to me and wants an obstruction call on the shortstop..he says that the shortstop was in his runners way as she released the ball. I told him...nice try, but the call stands.
