The collective options of the others in my association tend to agree with me.

REPLY: Jim, take a look at the 2003 Case Book, Play 9.4.3 Situation D on page 65. The Federation's collective opinion (for better or worse) disagrees. And there's is the one that counts...unfortunately sometimes.
I think that the NCAA's interpretation agrees with yours, i.e. that you enforce from the spot of the recovery. But for some strange reason, Fed doesn't.
