Jrut,
They are not returning the kicked ball when the foul occurs, in the situation that started the thread the foul occurs before the end of the kick, therefore before the change of possession and the rule I cited above kicks in.. I do agree that they need to change it and make the change of possession concurent with the ball crossing the ENZ but they didn't so in the mean time we have to go with what is written. As for not buying "PSK does not apply", where is a rule that you can cite that says that this would not be a double foul? I would love to see it because that would make this a whole lot easier to explain to a coach. I also wish that our state association would do like some of the others and go ahead and change their interpretation to make it so here, but alas they as of yet haven't done that...
As I said, there is a play on the NF Rules CD for this year that says PSK would apply on a foul committed by K (I believe their play was an illegal shift). R committed a foul while the ball was in the air, past the ENZ and beyond the LOS. In the NF CD example and they called this a PSK enforcment situation, if R declines K's foul. Now maybe you have not see this, but this was shown at a rules meeting and by one of my association's Clinician (which is certified by the State) in a separate meeting. I am going to a meeting tonight and will ask about this very situation. I will report what I am told.

Peace
