I am relatively new to officiating football so someone please explain this to me. Team A lines up in PUNT formation and the kicker mishandles the snap (Muff). Is it now illegal for the Kicker to punt the ball? If so, can you point me to the rule in the manual?

Thanks!

The rule is covered in 9-7 Art 1,2,3,4.
look at Art 2 "in flight"..Is a key term for your ruling.
