Who gets the ball and why? Rules references would be appreciated.

Nice question. The real conflict here is between 5-1-3a (which awards a new series to A when they reach the LTG) and 5-1-3g (which awards a new series to R in the event of first touching). Obviously, we can't award a new series to both teams.
I agree with pretty much everyone else: 6-2-5 makes it clear that first touching supersedes reaching the LTG (barring a foul). Therefore, R 1/10 @ K15.
