KCI enforcement
« on: March 28, 2012, 11:02:37 AM »
4/10 @ A-20. Punt returner B1 is at the B-40 looking up in anticipation of catching the punt. B1 does not give a fair catch signal. A1 tries to time the tackle as there is no FC signal. A1 contacts B1 simultaneously to the ball arriving at the B-40 causing B1 to muff the ball. BJ throws his flag for this action. B2 then recovers the loose ball and advances to the A-40 where he is tackled.

The contact by A1:
a) could
b) could not
also be classified as action that constitutes a personal foul.

Enforcement?

Team B obviously will decline the penalty for KCI, 1st and 10 for team B at A-40.

There is no similar language to 7-3-9-e for kicks, so there is no possibility to treat the KCI as a PF. I'm very much willing to hear of a JA/RR interpretation to the contrary, as I think there should be an option to enforce a) as a PF from A-40 (or A-20, repeat the down).

What you describe is 'simple' KCI, and can only be enforced as a spot foul. There is no option to add it to the spot where the dead ball belongs to B. However, if the contact is ALSO a targeting action, then, by RR interpretation of 3-22-12, it SHALL be added to the spot where the dead-ball belongs to B. We have to know and judge the difference between mis-timed normal contact and targeting.

Poor fella - he must be tired after that.
As far as the question itself goes, I agree with Macman. Whether or not this is a PF as well as KCI would depend on what kind of contact is made. If A1 targets the receiver with the crown of his helmet or targets him at the neck or head, then flag it for a PF and tack it onto the end of the run.

Now look, you know different people think about life in different ways. Lawyers think life is a big court room, doctors probably think life is like a big operation, and bus drivers think life is... er... a big bus I guess, who knows what the hell those guys think. Anyway, I've always thought of life as a big football game...

Maybe that's the future of football?  You play it on a field 1000 yards long with no end zones as a game of pure field position, and the object is to be in the other team's half after 60 minutes.

(The stands may have to be motorised to keep up with the ball, but I think we may just be on to something here!)

What if, instead of targeting per se, the Team B player horse collared the receiver or grab & twisted his face mask - tack on?

RR's specific ruling referenced targeting, but I'd feel 100% confident and safe ruling any contact of the personal foul nature to qualify for penalizing at the spot where the dead-ball belongs to B. Erring on the side of safety rarely gets one in trouble.

I would agree.  Any foul by A except KCI can be tacked on to the dead ball spot where it belongs to B.  This was in one of our video bulletins this year where the KCI was a personal foul.
