As its a university holiday today...heres an answer to your question

What happens when a pick is called is not complicated really. If a pick is 
called the disc goes back to the thrower, whether it was in the air or not. The 
only exception is if the D gets the interception, in which case if the disc was 
in the air when 'pick'was called then the play stands (it is polite for the team 
that made the interception to shout  'play on' in these instances). If the 
interception was made but 'pick' was called while the disc was still in the 
thrower's hand then it is not a turn-over (as the offence had possession when 
the pick was called). Continuation can be called by the team that calls a pick 
(its a bit like withdrawing the pick call), though it is not usual to do so 
(it's likely to confuse your team mates). 

What actually constitutes a pick is an altogether much harder question which the 
rules duly address by being especially vague (' No player may establish a 
position or move in such a manner, so as
to obstruct the movement of any player on the opposing team'). If you want to 
take this up as a discussion topic then please do as it will improve 
understanding of what your rights to space and movement while on the pitch are 
(whether on O or D).
