Thanks for all the responses.
I think we all agree that my friend's crew errored by calling kick catching interference. And I found in the Simplified and Illustrated book on page 39, I think, where it doesn't site a rule, but does state that the ball is dead when posessed by R after giving a valid or invalid fair catch signal. The hit by K was late enough that K should've been penalized with a dead ball foul for late hit. And R should be penalized 5 yards from the spot of the catch for the invalid fair catch signal.
Again, thanks for all the responses. It was a good discussion....
