Same question came up regarding a player fielding a kickoff under NCAA rules in his end zone and then attempting to flip it to an official.

I think you are confusing this with a balk call followed by a batted ball followed by nobody moving.

There may have been such a discussion here, but the baseball/softball situation I'm describing was also discussed.
