The short answer is PSK enforcement begins when the ball crosses the ENZ.

REPLY: That will make it a &%$#@ to officiate. How does the official downfield who observes a B foul near the receiver determine exactly where the ball was at the time of the foul? By the way, I asked Ed C. about this. He says if the ball is off the kicker's foot, then treat it as if it has crossed the ENZ--common sense!

I agree with Ed C. Football officiating is not an exact science.

My thoughts are forget about where the ball is and concentrate on where the foul occurs. If R fouls downfield it has to be a PSK foul as long as the ball has crossed the ENZ. Don't make it more complicated than it has to be!
