That's a blanket statement that's simply not true. The ball is muffed into the air by R- he's still in the process of making a catch but most certainly CAN be contacted by K.

Well, I guess I need to say it again. This isn't a blanket statement. It's a statement written to answer THIS PLAY, no other.

Based on c it first's further description of the play it sounds like something you'd really have to see. If the ball just rolled forward in his arms I wouldn't allow the contact- if it popped in the air I would.

Well, once again, you'd be wrong. Please cite the rule that states, that R has to catch the ball cleanly in order to still have protection.

Would the foul really be "kick catching interference"?? Isn't K contacting R after the catch, thus the ball is dead?

If he hasn't made the catch, how can the play be over?
