I agree with Andy the step and reach is a general guideline but NEVER say that to a coach in an ASA game, they will attempt to say you misapplied the rule using NFHS rules in the ASA game. Simply say my first sentence if ever asked by a coach!!

(And never mention anything about the ball passing the fielder (even if it does) wrt interfering with a fielder. The ball passing the fielder ONLY applies to a runner hitting THE BALL.)
