NCAA, possibly. "Rounding" and/or "Returning" type obstructions get a warning (per player) on a first occurence; if this F3 had been warned previously, runner is awarded one forward base.

That said, it is almost NEVER called, even as a warning. No, that doesn't mean it isn't happening; if you look at that and nothing else, you will see it almost every play at every base. It is almost an art form, just slightly in the way enough to impede/hinder/be in her space, but not overtly enough for an umpire to make the call.
