Punt Return


EricFeller

Question

Here's a pic from last night's game just before it touches my kid's hands. My Punt Returner in white signaled a fair catch, he muffs it but ball never touches ground but ball immediately bounces right into #15's lap and he returns it for a TD. 

1) Isn't this a halo violation?

2) Does the other team get the ball from the spot of the muff?

Quick response as I'm sure others will be able to send you a complete copy of the rules. 

 

In NFHS, there is not a "halo rule" and K can NEVER advance a kick. A muff does not meet the definition of when a kick ends. K would get the ball at the spot of recovery.

Correct. Can’t tell from a still whether there could have been kick catching interference.
