99.9% of the time the announcers don't have a clue on the rules so I highly suggest not listening to them. You did good to get on here to find the truth and not believe them. But, to their credit this is the .1% that they were correct. If the kicking team touches the ball it is illegal touching. It's not a foul but a violation that gives the receiving team the option of taking the ball at the spot of the touch or the dead ball spot, even if they fumble. This is all assuming there were no accepted live ball fouls during the play.
