In the video the H is digging for his beanbag. Why doesn't he have it in his hand before the kick, toss it, and keep officiating?

That was the SJ. There was a flag but there was also a bean bag at the top of the numbers. Apparently, the official was initially confused and tossed a flag, but then followed that up by dropping a bean bag and picking up the flag. That's not the first time I've seen it happen.

When we suspect an onsides kick, the official(s) on R's restraining line will hold a bean bag in the hand closest to the kicking team. If the ball is touched by K on the "bean bag hand" side of R's restraining line, we have First Touching. If touched by K at R's restraining line or the "empty hand side", we wind the clock.

It is a nice mechanic, once you get used to it.

This is a basic mechanic, especially when you are expecting an onside kick.

As a deep wing in 7 man and being on the "R" line I have my hand on the bag for all free kicks.

If the kick is ungrounded and short of the Free Kick line, it is a flag and a bag!

KCI and First touching, right?

It would be both KCI and first touching. One of the options available for the KCI penalty is R accepting a Fair Catch from the spot which would provide an advantage over simply accepting the spot of 1st touching, as the penalty allows R to choose to put the ball inplay by snap or free kick.

REPLY: Except in this game, since NCAA doesn't allow the option to free kick after KCI.

Good point. However, I would only throw the flag when K touches a kick in the air and report/enforce as KCI. Also, less than 10 yds no wind, if 10 yds or more wind the clock.

Technically, yes. I only drop a flag though as the bag is redundant.
