In the case book, 5.1.3 Situation A, the ruling indicates that K can advance a muff if it is recovered behind the neutral zone. It does not explicitly say this for part B, when the ball is recovered by K past the neutral zone. If I read this correctly, muffs can't be advanced by K, but fumbles can. If this is the case, then I would think that the reasoning is similar to K downing a ball; when the ball is in control of K (touched/recovered), the ball is dead. Is this correct? I just want to be clear on this one.
