B, or R, ended the play with the ball, let's say inbounds, and would be awarded a new series after a legal kick. This clearly meets all of the requirements to have the clock started on the snap. However, K's foul during the play must be dealt with before the result of the play can be determined to be official. The hold by K3 occurred while the ball was still in K's possession and if accepted would require the down to be replayed and thus R can't be awarded a new series. The clock was stopped by an official's timeout to administer the penalty enforcement whereas if there was no foul the clock would have been stopped for COP.
