re: It’s interference. With visual evidence and the rule

The rule is designed to prevent anyone from being inside the foul line

The rule is designed to prevent interference, which wasn’t the case on that play. You can link some shitty Google AI breakdown all you want but any good ump isn’t calling interference unless the runner is actually obstructing or attempting to obstruct the throwing lane

ETA: this is how the rule is actually written in the NCAA rulebook.

NCAA 2-51 Interference

Interference SECTION 51.

The act of an offensive player, umpire or nongame person who interferes with; physically or verbally hinders; confuses; or impedes any fielder attempting to make a play

Nowhere does it say that you can’t run inside the line. Congrats on your first foray with Google AI answers giving you completely bad info and you falling for it with no further research
