But, this is different than any case play in 4-2-3. There is no PSK spot to enforce it from cuz there is not EOK, so the only option is to rekick. The IW caused there to be no EOK, so you must rekick. No way are you going to give K the option to have R's BIB enforced from the PS.

4-3-2-A says "the down shall be replayed the IW occurs during a legal kick." I know what 4-2-3 says about if a penalty is accepted, but you have no enforcement spot.

I think you MUST rekick. I don't see us asking K if they want to accept R's foul, we will administer it from the PS, which is the only option. This is what PSK was put in for. If K is giving up the ball by a scrimmage kick, they should not get it back so easily. The IW screwed R of the PSK, so rekick is the only option.

tpaul, you have my thoughts, what are yours?
MJT,
I love your thinking, it makes so much sense but the rule book doesn't follow such logic.

Because of the IW. We have a scrimmage kick which by rule is a loose ball play. Since PSK does not cover this we must go back to PS and enforce the penalty there.

Thus we have K 4-2 @ R35

Please see Case book play 4-2-3 sit E, also check 2-16-2G & 4-2-3

Well, I guess that shows that I did not look in the case book for my argument. That is nasty considering this is the exact reason PSK was implimented. I guess this is one more reason why we need to keep the whistle out of our mouths until we see the ball in possession of a player who is down.
