Yes I think they do want that penalty enforced from the previous spot. PSK is not a license to hold, block in the back etc....it just means that when K kicks the ball past the ENZ that they have given up possesion...in your scenario they actually could maintain possesion and possibly get a first down with a scramble.. Let me pose this to you, say the punter gets tackled...do you think that the federation wants this penalty enforced then?? To me there is very little difference...until K gives up possesion, R must keep their nose or hands clean..

Just curious in NF what the definition of scrimmage kick play is. In NCAA a scrimmage kick play or field goal play is the interval between the snap and when a scrimmage kick comes into player possesion or the ball is declared dead by rule. So what that means it make no difference when B fouls whether it is before the kick is made or after as long as it meets the requirements for PSK enforcement.
