Crap Tactic: What Would You Do?

[OverAndBack]

The rule book clearly gives you an out in this instance in that it's 15 for starters because he contacted the kicker prior to him going five yards. So you're safe there.

If that's not enough of a deterrent, then you know they're headhunting. I'd suggest strongly to the coach that a similar contact on the next or a later kickoff would result in not only the ejection of the player, but the coach as well. If you can do that.
