Team K awarded the ball after the action.
Did the crew get it right?

That's a VERY hard call to make. I would err on the side of ruling it a fumble and throwing a flag for illegal kicking/batting.

If then rules a fumble, the offended team can choose the results of the play (recovery for K) or 15 yards and replay the down. To me it looks like an unintentional drop kick.
Very hard call, no matter what.

Ok, I think that it is a fumble and then an illegal kick, my umpire agrees with me.
My back judge does not and thinks that the kid did not intentionally kick the fumble, therefore the crew got it right.
Personally I think you could sell any call you make fairly easily to the coaches.
The one thing this is not is a legal punt like the announcers are saying it was.
