What rule would you use?
The Interference definition in ASA requires the fielder to "[attempt] to execute a play." Since F4 wasn't making any attempt whatsoever to get up, I didn't feel a call of Interference was appropriate.
Perhaps there's another ASA rule that penalizes a retired runner for doing what the BR did in my game. But I can't think of one.
