Interference or general play

What we saw BU and PU was slightly different from what the coach saw and the player did .
It is important to note this is top mens ball.
The players who slide always are hitting the base and getting up to try for the next base .
We saw that the slide was legal, but the player was out on the force , the fielder leapt up so as not to get "damaged " and was in the act of throwing and moving forward when the runner was lifting up .
The fielder went over and was prevented from throwing .
Both of us had no problem in interference and in fact as I knew this was a big play and knew the players I was just past the pitching strip when I came up with the dead ball.
I was PU .

Now you are changing the scenario. If you had said it was a pop-up slide, and that is what caused the INT, I would have replied differently, but I think you knew that.

The slide is one thing, the pop-up is subsequent to and not part of the slide. INT all the way as you now have described it.
