14. I understand the rule

Unfortunately the way it is written, the guy can wave a fair catch, then juggle the ball all the way to the 1 yard line, grab it, and fall in without the opposing team being able to touch him.

The fact is the ball was no longer touching the receiver, and was, in fact touching a member of the kicking team. At that point, all bets should be off.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the rule to prevent injury to the receiver.
