I'm assuming BU takes into consideration whether R1 would be safe if there is no obstruction (ie: slow runner stealing 2nd, runs around F3, and gets beaten by 2 steps). Would that be correct?
BU should call obstruction when he sees it. But the coach can come out and try and convince him that he messed up and hope he'll correct it. That'll be a nightmare on the field when you tell the defense.

As to your scenario if called correctly, the BU **at the time of the obstruction** determines which base he believes the runner would have achieved if not obstructed and then protects accordingly.
