Question: During the Friday's game, Team 1 went for an onside kick. The Team 2 player went down to recover the ball and was hit in the head by a Team 1 player. The Team 1 player lead with the head, it was pretty clear. Team 1 recovered the ball and a personal foul was called. The initial call gave Team 1 the ball and marked off the 15 yrds from the recovery of the kick. There was some major confusion. Officials huddled, and decided to give Team 2 the ball at the spot of the recovery and did not mark off any yards for the penalty. They signaled offsetting personal fouls on both teams, even though Team 2 was never signaled for a foul to begin with. I am still confused on what would have been the correct handling of the call.
