So it would seem that these two rules are in conflict with each other.
In this case, R has not first touched, so by 5-1-4 K has recovered behind the NZ and advanced.
But, 6-2-5 would seem to give R options since K first touched in this case.
So which rule takes precedence? Do you take the events in order of occurance? First touching proceeded K's recovery and advance.
I believe that the first touching by K should probably give R its choice of options, kind of like when K first touches and then R fumbles later in the run back. Even if K recovers R has the option of going back to the spot of 1st touching.
