Sorry guys, but I disagree with your blanket statements on this. What if the K player comes from the side of R before the contact? Did he obstruct R's path to the ball or touch R? No. Also, once R bobbles or muffs, he CAN be contacted by K provided he is attempting to secure possession. If R doesn't catch it clean then K can attempt to secure possession whether the ball hits the ground or not. Casebook play 6.5.2 Situation A (b) describes this exact play.
You can disagree if you like but you'd be wrong.

We arent' making blanket statements or saying "What if...?" We answering based on what was posted. And, as Tom stated, the case play is not the same as this one. c it first's 2nd post would be more in line with the case play that you cited.
