Reply to "Base Coach Interference"

Is there any umpire discretion involved?

Situation: The coach reads where the ball is going to land and is vacating that area. The fielder apparently can't read a pop up and comes in on the ball rather than back. Contact is made. Since the kid isn't even sniffing a catch is it still interference?

(I'm well aware now that it is MUCH smarter to watch the fielder and avoid him, but in my mind I knew where the ball was going to land and hurried away from it. Never expected a kid to misjudge a ball so badly.)
