First Touching on Onside Kick

[Theisey]

Smoke, your desgination of Team B, I'm assuming this is the kicking team, so lets call them Team K for now.

Once the ball goes 10 yards (and all the other stuff for free kicks has been meet) the ball is a FREE BALL, there is no such thing as first touching at this point. Team K can recover and keep the ball at that point.

These aren't the same officials that you mentioned in your Unsportmanlike post are they? If not, your chapter can use some serious certification and retraining of it's members.
