Incorrect NFHS Correction

The NFHS has now listed Case Book Revisions/Clarifications. The following change has been included for 6.5.7 SITUATION A:

Situation: Fourth and 5 for K on its own 9-yard line. K1's punt is very high and short, but it goes into the expanded neutral zone. R1 gives an invalid fair-catch signal at K's 20-yard line and the untouched kick hits the ground and rebounds behind the neutral zone where K1 recovers and is downed at his own 10-yard line.

Original Ruling: K undoubtedly will accept the penalty for R1's foul which puts the ball at the 14-yard line and results in a first down for K. If K declines the fouls and accepts the play, it will be R's ball first and goal at the 10.

Corrected Ruling: K undoubtedly will accept the penalty for R1's invalid fair catch giving R the ball at K's 25 yard line after enforcement. If Kdeclines the fouls and accepts the play, it will be R's ball first and goal at the 10.

I disagree with the both rulings. Post-scrimmage enforcement does not apply since K has possession at the end of the down. Penalty acceptance by K results in a five yard markoff enforced from previous spot and repeat of the down. Ball will be snapped by K at the 14-yard line. Down will be either fourth or first depending on the box position relative to the down marker tape at the beginning of the down. If penalty is declined, it will by R's ball first and goal at the 10.
