I know this is a nothing in ASA - ASA requires a quality throw in order to rule interference. But I'm looking for a case play to back it up. I don't have those here. Anyone have one?

We have a rule (8.2-E) that makes it interference for the BR, by running outside the running lane, to, in the umpire's judgment, interfere with the fielder "taking the throw". Since the only applicable rule doesn't make it interference to cause F2 to make an errant (or non-quality) throw, why do we need a case play for what isn't covered by the rule?
