NFHS obstruction/interference

[Dakota]

To the DC when he comes out to question the call:

"Coach, in my judgment, the SS timed her move to the ball in an attempt to draw an interference call. Obstruction call stands."

DMR... INT.
I cannot judge intent nor how a fielder should or should not field a ball.

Then you are in the wrong business. I have no problem with the OBS call. You cannot expect all runners to stand pat until someone on the defense gives them a green light.

ohh im in the right business.... by rule, yes i can. 2-47-3a

POE: Interference. A runner legally running the bases has FULL responsibility to avoid contact with a fielder who is attempting to make an initial play, etc. etc.

1. Of, relating to, or occurring at the beginning; first:

hrmmm, looked it up too.. don't see immediate or instantaneous or you must field the ball in the fashion the umpire thinks they should. Nor do i find those in 2-47-3b

Now if she stopped, lit up a smoke and took a dump.... maybe that would preclude the initial play definition. ok, im reaching here.(a little)

but per the OP all she did is hesitate. (pause ,read, react)
Sounds familiar?
Not once in the OP did the umpire think or mention that F6 tried to draw the INT (here we can judge intent).... so it must be INT.
