This is some really great discussion. I put this question on here because I knew that it would spark a debate on PSK enforcement.

There are lots of guys on this great board that know much more than me. I have been a white hat in S.C. for only 3 years. So, I certainly recognize the many years of experience here on this board.

Let me tell ya why I agree with those who believe this is a PSK type play. If we look at the play and take everything into consideration as it is right up to the point where K falls on it at the 12, then we change it and say that the ball rolls out of bounds at the 12. I think everyone would agree then that it is indeed a PSK foul. However, If the ball went out of bounds then R would not literally be in possession of the ball. But we all know that its R's ball because we will ignore the touch by R which was caused by the bat by K. So, why would we not also ignore the fact that K has fell on a ball that can't possibly belong to him? When I think of it this way it makes perfect sense to me that it would be a PSK foul by R and that they would get to keep the ball after enforcement from the 10.

But thanks to everyone for their input. This board is so good for me as exam time approaches.
