does the returning team have to catch the ball or can they just signal fair catch and free kick from where it rolls dead....
The fair catch must be made, not just signaled.
However- you can free kick if awarded a fair catch due to a kick-catching interference call.
they let us attempt our free kick, but made us kick from the hashmark...this was wrong right?
Right- they got it wrong. After a fair catch you can snap or free kick from anywhere between the hashes (inbounds lines).
