Thanks in advance to all the regular posters for your input and assistance.
Here's one of my plays from a subvarsity game this past week.
K4-15@K5. K Punts from its own EZ. Under a heavy rush K gets off a very short punt that is caught by R at the K25 and returned for an apparent TD. R runs into the kicker on the play. After the TD, R commits a DBPF by clobbering a K player near the GL.
I ruled 1st down for K at the K25. I guess I just want to know if I did the right thing?

We're not enforcing running into a kicker as a PSK foul, since it didn't happen beyond the neutral zone. Go to the previous spot, mark off 5 for the running, and mark off another 15 for the DBPF. Since they're beyond the line to gain, they get a first down at the 25. Well done! pHiNzuP

By running into the kicker, R fouled behind the LOS taking PSK out of the equation. So K has the ability, with the acceptance of the penalty to replay the down. That 5 yard walk-off would move the ball to K's 10 - making it 4th and 10 from the K 10. Then, R's DBPF would be enforced from the succeeding spot - K's 10 - giving K a first down at the K 25.
