How can you know, at the moment of the foul, that a player being across the restraining line, even just a bit, at the moment of the kick during an ONSIDES kick did not gain an advantage. I'd say he most definitely DID gain an advantage not allowed by the rules. On an onsides kick, I (and every crew I work with) will call this as tightly as a scrimmage play.
