I've been a white hat for over 30 years. I think when the punter takes off running, you have to give the defense a little more rope, especially if it is uncertain if the punter is going to run or kick.
If the contact occurs just as he kicks, I will likely not make a call provided the contact is not excessive.
Now if the punter does it numerous times, the defense should be aware and careful of what goes on.
