The ball is going to be downed inside B's 5 yard line near the sideline.

K22 is the gunner and is going to down the ball. As the ball is bouncing K22 has unknowingly stepped out of bounds at the 4 and then steps inbounds at the 2 to down the punt at 1 yard line.

Are you going to have a flag at the B's 2 yard line for illegal participation?

Is this now considered illegal touching? Or some other violation or foul?

Or do you just let it go?
CANADIAN RULING:

There are 4 ways to have been OOB legally:
  • a player was blocked to OOB
  • a player tried to block someone, missed, and subsequently ended up OOB
  • slipped to OOB
  • stepped OOB to field a punt or kick-off
There is no indication that any of those events caused K22 to be OOB, so I do have a flag for IP.

If K22 was:
  • offside:
    • Illegal recovery: Restraining Zone flag. Since both the IP (10y) and RZ (15y) are minor fouls, R has to choose which to apply. The R shouldn't even ask, so it'll be R 1D/10 @ R-16.
  • onside:
    • legal recovery, but the IP is still applied: K 1D/10 @ R-11.
