Goal?

[PSidbury]

Per NFHS Rule 10: Scoring:
"A goal is scored when the entire ball passes beyond the goal line, between the goal posts and under the crossbar provided it has not been deliberately thrown, carried or propelled by the hand or arm of a player of the attacking team."

And then there are additional conditions under which a goal may or may not be scored (ie., from a kickoff, penalty kick, indirect free kick, throw-ins, etc).

Yes, that would be a goal.

However: two add-on scenarios:

1) What if the goalie catches (with hands) the ball, throws it to a teammate within the penalty area, that teammate then kicks it back to the goalie, and the goalie mis-"handles" the ball (meaning, the ball touches goalie's hands but it slips through) and it goes in the goal? (referencing NFHS Rule 12-7-1)
Is that a goal?
As opposed to goalie not handling the ball prior to a teammate kicking it to him/her?

2) And if an indirect free kick is awarded to the opponent at the spot of the goalie illegal touching, where is the ball placed for the kick if the illegal touching occurred in the a) goal area/box; or the b) penalty area ?
