Actually I know a group of youth & HS coaches who advocate place kicking instead of punting anywhere on the field! I think they're nuts, because of what I consider obvious disadvantages of place kicking. (If the place kick were so good, they'd've done it instead of punting in NCAA & NFL too before they instituted those "field goal attempt" rules.)
