A free kick or scrimmage kick caught or crossing into the endzone would be a touchback. On a scrimmage kick this year, there was a valid fair catch signal at the 9, then a block by that R at the 9. Ball went into the endzone resulting in a touchback, the basic spot is the 20, the foul behind the basic spot at the 9, enforce half the distance, R ball at the 4 1/2, first and 10.
In this thread, since B has an opportunity to run the ball out of the endzone (interception), the end of the run is in the endzone (not a touchback since the runner was not downed in the endzone so the 20 is not the basic spot), the basic spot is the goal line and the B has the ball at the 15, first and 10 for B.
