I seem to have developed a bad habit while covering punt returns... For two consecutive weeks, I've had a returner muff the punt... For whatever reason, when I see that, I chuck the beanbag to the spot of the muff...
Of course, to most people, that would seem to indicate a spot of first touching, or possibly a PSK spot... (But since the kick is muffed, there is no PSK spot...) This could potentially cause problems with a knowledgeable coach, but fortunately, I haven't run into any...  The question is this: What mechanic/signal, if any, do you use when the punt is muffed/touched by the receiving team..?

I don't throw that bag until the kick has ended. A question I have on punts is where the BJ should be to cover it. I like to be back a few yards to get view of the entire field, but I may leave me vulnerable having a bad view on KCI calls a muffs when compared to someone who is on the same yard-line as R.

What you want here is S11 (the "tip" signal) to indicate legal touching of the ball by R. Hold the bag for first touching and the end of the kick.
According to our association, in five-man mechanics, the BJ should be 2-3 yards ahead (upfield) of the deepest receiver, and about 8-9 yards wide to the HL's side of the field. This allows for a clean view of any muff/recovery situations, as well as KCI, etc.
