KWH- you posted this originally. I highlighted the parts you seem to be missing- go to your play and apply it again...

A post scrimmage kick (PSK) foul is an R foul that occurs on R’s side of the expanded neutral zone prior to the end of the kick during a scrimmage kick that ends beyond the neutral zone and K does not have possession of the ball when the kick ends.
Sorry Andrew, I didn't realize I was going to fast for you! Let me slow it down a bit just for you!

My point, I thought, was fairly straitforward. While we now have PSK, it does not appear to be written the same as the NCAA Rule. I believe that this may cause some serious confusion among officials who work both codes!
Hence we need to be careful NOT to assume it the same was as the NCAA rule!

In my example plays, the first play is a concern as under NCAA it would be enforced under PSK. However under NFHS rules it appears on the surface that since the foul did not occur ...during the scrimmage kick...rather it occured BEFORE the scrimmage kick it is questionable if the foul would be enforced under PSK.

The second example play is a bad example for the point I was attempting to make. By reading the NFHS rules it appears this play as I wrote it, is a previous spot foul under both codes!

Thank you Andrew, for pointing out my error!
