we were told to 'enforce from the spot that will do the most damage'.
Remember - the bean bag is a NEW BASIC SPOT and that's your key. You will never go in advance of that spot on a PSK. If the foul is BEHIND that spot - (say the 5 in your case) - you'd go from the 5. It does 'more damage'.

I don't agree with telling ANY official to penalize by what does the most damage. Too many new officials have been taught this and enforce penalties incorrectly. The BEST way to learn penalty enforcement is learn how to determine the basic spot. Then apply the all-but-one principle. Once you know the basic spot for any play, you can penalize accordingly.

I agree Mike. That is one of my pet peeves--telling coaches and especially new officials to "penalize so it hurts them the most" or "does the most damage," etc. If you went just based on what does the most damage, then one might get the idea that a foul by the defense
beyond the basic spot is enforced from the spot of the foul, when in fact that is never an enforcement spot for the defense. Know your play types, learn the concept of the basic spot, and apply the all-but-one principle.
