I hope everyone is in agreement, a double foul is treated as in the past, PSK or not.

No, we are not all in agreement. For one I have already stated what is on the NF Powerpoint presentation that makes it clear that R can decline K's penalties and keep the ball.

The book does support it because there are no changes to possession or double fouls references.

I have to disagree with that statement. If you read on the top of page 73, where the
Comments on the Rules Revisions are located. They use the "clean hands" reference there as well and give a greater understanding of what the intent of PSK is in the first place. My question is then why is "clean hands" used if their intent was to make fouls by K and R during many of these situations a double foul? The term "clean hands" is used to make sure we do not cancel a play out and rule a double foul on a change of possession play. That is the only place the term is used. If this kind of play is not used for "clean hand," then what kind of play are they referring to?

Considering one of our Asst. Directors of the IHSA is on the NF Football Board now and attended this past meeting where the changes were made, it is clear the intent was and how he decided to train his Rule Interpreters. And the use of the powerpoint presentation from the NF was also very clear and exact.

Unfortunately, if this situation occurs chances are the coach will not believe the replay of the down. Just hope you never see this.

In our state, if the coaches paid any attention, we will not have that problem. But then again, the key is "if." I guess at the end of the day, all that matters you are told in your state and at your meetings. But around here, if someone calls this a double foul, it would not be a good thing.
