Interfering with the Punt Returner
What is the high school rule regarding protecting the punt returner? In tonight's game a flag was thrown when the kick team player hit the return right when the ball got there.

Does the rule require a certain amount of space to catch the ball?

How is it penalized? In tonight's game it looked like they gave the receiving team the option of the yardage or moving the kicking team back 15 and having them re-kick.
