Grrrr....obstruction?

WMB and others - does the malicious contact in your (2) scenario above take precedence over the OB. Meaning, if it was OB, but the runner maliciously contacts the defender, could you award home, then eject the runner? Or do you treat the contact like Interference after OB (interference taking precedence of OB)?

Not WMB, but yes.

Once the malicious contact occurs, there is no need to do anything in the way of the OBS. Merely enforce the malicious contact penalty.
