KO Mechanic, Ball Placement

[whitehat]

On numerous occassions in my experience a kicker will place the ball on the ground next to the tee, go back and line up, raise his hand and just wait. As R I blow the RFP.Soemtimes the team rushes the ball and then they suddenly stop, then the kicker puts it on the tee, they back up and then have a normal KO. other times they all rush the ball and the kicker kicks it off the ground in a squib or onside manner...

another variable sometimes is the Kicking team is simply taking too long...they are slow, going through their routine.....I blow the RFP and they decide oh, we better actually get busy and kick this thing.

Along the same lines as a coach who simply will not leave the offensive huddle after his timeout is over. I have been known to blow the RFP after several warnings that the timeout is over and the coach has to hustle to get off the field....usually only takes once.
