Invalid Signal and Punt Receiver Gets Leveled (NFHS)

[Warrenkicker]

In a) you have a PSK foul for the invalid signal. Since R caught the ball the spot of the foul or the spot of the catch is the enforcement spot, whichever is worse in this case. Then the DB PF would be enforced against K. So we would go back 5 yards and then up 15 yards for 1-10 for R.

In b) you have two live-ball fouls by opposing teams prior to any change of possession. R's foul may be a PSK foul once we find out some more things. We need more information as to if the ball was touched by R, if that touching was forced touching, and who ended the play with possession. If R ended the play with the ball, or at least K would not be the next to put the ball in play, then R could decline K's KCI penalty and keep the ball after the PSK penalty is enforced. R would also have the choice to offset the penalties and repeat the down if they wanted. If K ended the down with possession after R had touched the ball then we would have offsetting fouls and would have to repeat the down.
