Is it a fumble if a punt is blocked?
Yes! A blocked punt is a fumble simply because it can be advanced by which every team recovers said block. This is different then a punt returner who didn't made the catch (basically, doesn't gain possession of the ball). This is considered a "muff" and can be recovered but not advanced by either team.
Football Stats -- is a deflection of the football on a punt also considered a block when keeping stats -- assuming the ball is deflected but still crosses the line of scrimmage?
No it's not. If the ball, after a punt, crosses the line of scrimmage and hits ANY of the receiving team's players it's a live ball. So it's not considered a blocked punt.
Can a blocked punt be punted again?
Only if there was a penalty against the team that blocked the punt, such as offsides.
Is a blocked punt count towards your average?
No. Statistically, the attempt and the negative yardage from a blocked punt should be assessed to the "Team," not the punter.
Team A punts to team B the ball hits ground after punt can team A catch ball then toss ball to ground is it live or dead ball?
It is not a dead ball until someone downs (touches) it.
Does a punter become a running back if a forward run is attempted?
No he's still the punter he ran the ball because of a fake punt call or maybe because of bad snap & he's afraid punt will get blocked so he runs with ball. Regardless he's still the punter.
Can a blocked punt be advanced at the high school level?
No
Can the defence block the punt in high school football rule?
a punt may be blocked by the kicking team without penalty unless there is some other illegal act involved. As long as the kicked ball is touched prior to the blocker contacting the punter the contact is ignored. For exanmple If the punt blocker were to block the punt and then make helmet to helmet contact with the punter there would be a penalty for the illegal helmet contact but not the blocking of the punt.
What is it called when your team receives a punt and runs the ball?
It is called a punt return.
Can a team advance a blocked punt?
Yes they can, although that is almost impossible.
In basketball if a player shoots and has it blocked then his momentum carries him out of bounds both feet out then the blocked shot lands on him whose ball is it?
The ball is considered dead when it touches the court out of bounds or touches a player that is out of bounds. In this case, the ball would go to the team that blocked the shot. Had the ball touched the court out of bounds before touching the player, the ball would go to the shooting team.
When a field goal attempt is blocked is the ball dead if it passes the line of scrimmage?
If a field goal attempt is deflected by an opposing player, that deflection is considered a Blocked attempt.
