Obstruction Question

[MountieSB]

It was a game in PA under NFHS rules. We didn't call an interpreter because it didn't affect the outcome of the game and we were satisfied with the original call. This was just talk we had after the game wondering if anything else could be called.

Are you a rules interpreter? If so, what call would you make? Thanks!

Mike, my first reaction to the video was "absolutely two outs." Then I watched it again, and started talking myself out of it, as you rarely see two outs with this type of interference. But I watched it a few more times (actually while discussing with another forum member), and I am leaning towards also calling the BR out (meaning I would need more information to call the second out).

I think you should run this by the rules interpreter in your district. I have heard he enjoys rule discussions (especially if there are refreshing, frosty adult beverages).

We always see things more clearly with those refreshing, frosty adult beverages.

Steve, I don't think I said that the rules interpreter has better or clearer ruling when he is enjoying a "cold one"; I just know he likes to discuss rules and beverages. Wasn't this the same guy that provided you with post game refreshment (at least that's what I heard)?

Slick,
I didn't recognize the field, so I don't know who that interpreter is just yet.
Now you didn't say that we see more clearly in those discusion while having a cold one - I did. There's an awful lot of talking during those discussions, so I usually need one or two or more.
"Wasn't this the same guy that provided you with post game refreshment (at least that's what I heard)?" Could be - there have been a few who kindly shared. And it's always much appreciated.
