Altor OK. I see something now under "Football Fundamentals" that explains this. It would be nice if they put that in the actual rule for penalty enforcement, because Rules 9 and 10 do not make that clear on their own.
JRutledge I'm sorry, I reference 10-5 instead of 10-4-5. It clearly says that the basic spot is the succeeding spot and 10-4-5a says, "For an unsportsmanlike foul. It is right in the rule. Peace
Robert Goodman Altor wroteJust checking, as I do not see anything super-special about this penalty enforcement. Ball on A45, 3rd and 10. A5 takes snap in shotgun formation, takes a couple steps backward and drops to a knee on A38. R throws flag for USC on Team A that occurs a) during the down; or b) after the down. What I'd like to know is, if they're taking a knee, what business does any official have seeing USC unless it's a disqualifying and reportable-to-the-league foul?

JRutledge HLin NC wroteWho said anything about taking a knee correlating to the USC foul? I think he is wondering what could happen in that situation where you have to even call a USC foul? I can see it happening, but I also do not see this as something to go looking for either. Peace

Peace Yes, it says that's the basic spot. But, it doesn't say anything about not applying ABO. And it doesn't say that you don't replay the down. That information is in the "Football Fundamentals" section.

There is a lot more to this play that I'm not going to get into here. I was not on the field, but I'm assuming a player from Team A said something that R felt he could not ignore.
JRutledge Altor wroteYes, it says that's the basic spot. But, it doesn't say anything about not applying ABO. And it doesn't say that you don't replay the down. That information is in the "Football Fundamentals" section. If the penalty says the basic spot is the succeeding spot for that kind of foul, do not complicate it. ABO does not apply the same way even in the rulebook. You trying to apply something where the rule and casebooks make this kind of clear. Peace

You trying to apply something where the rule and casebooks make this kind of clear. I wonder if anyone would ever apply the "One" of the All But One for a non-contact foul, considering it occurs in head space rather than field space.
JRutledge Robert Goodman wroteI wonder if anyone would ever apply the "One" of the All But One for a non-contact foul, considering it occurs in head space rather than field space. Well they shouldn't, considering that USC fouls are all non-contact and/or non-player fouls at the NF level. That is why the rule says they are succeeding spot fouls. So you cannot use ABO in that case. Peace
Scooby IF it is under 2 minutes in either halve, the offending team has the option to have the clock start on the snap.
ajmc Scooby wroteIF it is under 2 minutes in either halve, the offending team has the option to have the clock start on the snap. NFHS:3-5-7 indicates, "When a penalty is accepted with less that 2 minutes remaining in either half, the ]OFFENDED team will have the option to start the clock on the snap."
