While the ball is technically "dead" at this point, there is no whistle

Technically it's not dead at this point- you even said so!! If R knows that it's still live then K, with a little coaching, can certainly learn too.

I had a play last year- player goes to catch a punt and muffs it- it rolls forward a couple yards and he goes down in a crouch and covers it. The ball is obviously dead but before the whistle sounds a K player comes over and levels him. Flag down- personal foul- coach goes crazy. "He's playing to the whistle!!"

I'm sorry, but players have GOT to be smarter than this.
