4/10 at the A-10. Punter A44 receives the snap, and kicks the ball high and short. The ball lands at the A-12, and then bounces backwards to the A-5 where A22 recovers, and apparently believing the ball to be dead/turnover on downs, throws the ball to his sideline's ball boy standing at the A-15. (Technical) Ruling? Would you consider anything other than a strict interpretation of the rules here?
Same scenario, but A22 recovers in the EZ, then throws the ball to his sideline's ball boy at the A-15?
Same scenario, but A22 flips the ball to (the very surprised) R, who catches it, in the EZ?

The kick crossed the neutral zone and was recovered by Team A. The ball is already dead. Who cares where he throws it? In the first scenario it’s B 1/G @ A-5. In the second it’s a safety.

ok, same setup but kick does not cross the NZ. (I had this exact scenario once a couple of years ago, I just goofed writing it out).

In the case of the ball never crossing the NZ.
1. Incomplete pass. Could potentially have ING.
2. Inadvertent whistle rules apply when a live ball comes into possession by an official.

Is there a situation where that could be an illegal forward pass (which is what I was leaning towards on this, but I checked 7-3 and there's no such restriction on a forward pass by A after a completed kick, for reason I thought there was)

No restriction. As long as the ball does not cross the NZ it may be, passed, kicked, or advanced by any member of team A.
