Is illegal batting directly from a punt administered as a PSK

The ball will be a touchback when it crosses the goal line since it's a touchback regardless of who put the force on it. In a) the basic spot is the 20 but the bat happened at the 5 so the spot of the foul is behind the basic spot and it will be R's ball at the 2 1/2. In b) it's simply a touchback unless the bat was so flagrant that you'd call it unsportsmanlike conduct, in which case it's enforced from the succeeding spot, the 20.

Good catch, kdf. You're right on a). R's at the 2 1/2. (Dang it!! Thought I had that one.)

He's right on "b" as well. The kick was dead when it crossed the goal line, so unless you can make a dead ball foul out of the bat, r simply slapped a dead ball.
