I don't know that kick catching interference would play a role in this particular situation (again, it was my friend's game, not mine.) I believe he told me the hit took place one or two seconds after the catch which would lead me to believe that the receiver had enough room to catch it. Nor do I know exactly what the receiver did to signal fair catch, my friend just said it was an invalid signal (so not the high over head side to side we read as valid in the books.)
SeanWest, I did read those references in the rule book last night, but I still think that if the signal can be reasonably interpreted as a fair catch signal, R should be awarded protection, whether it is valid or not. Its a safety issue, if nothing else.
Thoughts....?
