NFHS-Roughing the Kicker- With a tipped Kick
My goodness. If a kicker is hit with a foul that's targeting, it's roughing the kicker.
When a lineman is illegally downfield and commits illegal touching, it's technically two fouls. The choice is obvious, the enforcement is straightforward, and only the most pedantic would report both.
As far as giving a caotain's choice, only about 1 in 10 (if that) require any interaction as the choice is obvious.
To me, this is one way officiating has improved since I started 25+ years ago. Left tackle false starts, wing throws a flag, gives me a prelim from the spot, the U steps it off while I report it to the press box, and I'm winding the clock. All done in a few seconds.
