Bob-
I hear yours and Theisey's concern and I agree 100%. I eluded to "grey area" plays earlier in this thread of which yours is one.
In my opionion the NFHS, in an effort to get PSK to pass the NFHS vote they are force fitting it into the NFHS concept.
As an instructor, I feel it will be tough enough to get some of the "old mindsets" to accept the change to PSK however it will be much more difficult to get the "Small College Group" to accept the fact that the rule has this "Clean Hands" twist to it, making it different from the NCAA rule!
Hopefully if the clean hands version becomes the rule, it will be modified after one year.
With that I will give the current ruling on YOUR play!

K, 4-8 from midfield. Punter K1 muffs the snap. While he is attempting to recover it, R12 holds gunner K10 at R's 40. K1 finally recovers the loose ball and gets the kick off. R25 catches it at R's 10 and advances to R's 25 where he is tackled.


This is not PSK enforcment...
Because R did not meet the "Clean Hands" requirement of PSK, (R fouled prior to the kick crossing the neutral zone expanded) this "loose ball foul" (if accepted) would be enforced from the previous spot making the game situation:
1st and 10 for K (now A) on the R40

Same play - NCAA: Foul would be enforced from PSK spot(R-10) making the game situation:
1st and 10 for R (now A) at the R5

Obviously a HUGH difference!!!
