There are 4 fouls - fouls by the offense behind the basic spot and those beyond the basic spot and fouls by the defense behind the basic spot and beyond it. All fouls except fouls by the offense behind the basic spot are enforced from the basic spot. This one foul is enforced from the spot of the foul.

So, all but one foul is enforced from the basic spot. On running plays, the basic spot is the end of the run, where the runner lost possession or where the runner went out of bounds. On loose ball plays, the basic spot is the previous spot.

So if A1 runs from the A20 to the A30 and his teammate holds at the A25, this is a foul by the offense behind the basic spot (the end of the run) and will enforced from there - the A25. Repeat the down 10 yards back from the A25.

Hope that clears it up.
