Something similar to this happened in the Arkansas-Alabama game, I think the second quarter. There was a small crowd and a little blocking, but the ball hit an Alabama (K) player in the brainbucket as the Arkansas (R) receiver was moving at the last moment to try to catch it. K recovered, flag was thrown, KCI, 15 yards called from the spot.

What I wondered is, if this starts to become recognized, do the others on this forum think that special teams coaches may start to coach their players to play a few yards back from the ball on short punts in the hopes that it will hit a K player who would be playing the receiver?
If this starts to be a trend, do you think that it would be seen as gamesmanship by R with rules interpretations generated to help fix this problem?
Could R even feign recieving a punt when he is certain it is about to land short to further lure K into the ball? Could this eventually be considered USC?

I realize the can of worms I'm trying to pry open, but the kicking game of this sport has always been a lucid nightmare for rules. Frankly I love the mental exercise, so long as it doesn't bite me in the butt!
