Not the way I read it... R does not make a clean catch and is immediately hit by K1. The ball is recovered by K2.

Sounds like the same play to me- K gave him the opportunity to make the catch and he didn't catch it. Legal play.

To me, "does not make a clean catch" = bobble = muff into air.

However, if he bobbles then catches and then is hit by K, we have a foul- R has protection and the ball is dead when R makes the catch (secures possession).
