This also has been discussed somewhat endlessly in our association meetings. To a man we agree that it depends entirely on whether K was able to see the signal or not. All K players cannot be held responsible for watching every R player in case one of them decides to give a fair catch signal. Can you imagine the mayhem that would ensue? If K didn't have the opportunity to see the fair catch signal given by other than the R player catching the ball, then he cannot be flagged for the contact. It is similar to A1 passing the ball a split second before he is hit by B1, who is in the air, and expecting a roughing call ... or B2 turning just before he is blocked and expecting a block in the back penalty.
