This is my whole point. I believe that FED's intention is to say that possesion has changed when K kicks the ball and it crosses the NZ (even though the wording is not there). That makes sence to me (meaning NF inteneded something else)!
With eveything I have read and thought about, I would have ruled the way many have: B ball 1/10 after a play like this. I am not convinved and would have major trouble convincing R's coach that K sould get the ball back for a 4/2 play due to an officials whistle on a loose ball.
NOW, to muddy the waters even more: lets say the whistle was NOT an IW, but the ball was on the ground untouched by either team. R got away from the ball (posion) and K decided for what ever reason NOT to down the ball. Finaly, an official blows his whistle to end the play. How do rule on this. PSK??? Mark off the penality and B ball; or do you retudn to previous spot and mark it off under old rules/thinking and give K the ball for a 4th down play???
