I really don't see a problem moving the ball a couple of inches but Kansas doesn't want things that way so I won't let them move it. [/B]

It's an analogy, so there will be some holes in it... However, the book does say that the punt must be kicked from within one step behind K's free kick line... So that seems to acknowledge a little bit of imprecision as to where exactly the ball will be when it is kicked...
I realize this isn't very precise language, but it's enough to allow me to rationalize the analogy...
I guess the next question is how far to the left or right do you allow the punter of the free kick to stray from the "designated spot"..? (Not that anyone's really going to be in good position to rule on that...)
