The part in red is something we've been having problems with this year.

Almost every white hat I've worked with has offered enforcement on the kickoff as one of the options for a USC or deadball foul. Unfortunately, as a new guy, my opinion isn't given much weight during these discussions.

If it's happening repeatedly, bring a copy of the rule and discuss it with your veteran officials before each game. Sometimes when the new guy brings something up as if he's trying to learn and doesn't understand how something was ruled differently than he expected, the old grizzled veteran ends up learning something when confronted with that foreign rulebook.
