Sorry you don't believe me but I have no reason to lie. In both cases, it was an onside kick and other K players entered the NZ before the kicker. Not sure why that's difficult to believe.

Then they would have encroached had the kicker actually kicked the ball. The kicker may not put his body into the neutral zone before the ball is kicked but if he misses the ball his kicking foot will be in the neutral zone basically at the same instant that the ball would have been kicked.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda LDUB. I was there and you weren't, so I guess you must be right. Either way, I'm not interested in splitting hairs with you.
