There is a statistics chart that has been developed for the NFL on when punting, kicking a fg, and going for it on 4th down is the correct decision. Obviously, the quality of kickers in the NFL is much higher in the NFL. So I'd assume the range that going for it on 4th down in college and high school would expand.

I think this coach's assertion that a 33% increase in getting a 1st down outweighs the 20/30yd change in field position on a punt is correct.
