Simple example.. A 1/10 @50
A34 runs to the B-40 and tosses a backward pass to A88 who is at the B-42. A88 runs to the B-30 where he is tackled.
During A34's run, A89 blocks below the waist on the B-35.
Where is the spot of enforcement? B-40?, B-30? or the B-35?

I would say this entire action is part of the run and the end of the run is at the B-30. Therefore, using the all-but-one principal, the foul occurred behind the basic spot and the penalty accessed from B-35. That's why I didn't think it would need to be bagged. ???????

The end of the run (in relation to penalty enforcement) is defined in the rulebook.
2-40-9 The spot where the run ends is where the runner loses player possession or where the ball becomes dead in his possession.
10-4-4 states: The basic spot is the spot where the related run ends for a foul which occurs during a running play as defined in 10-3-2.
Using these definitions, the related run ended for A34 at the B-40. This is now the basic spot for fouls during his run and A89 did just this. The fouls is in advance of the end of his run so we enforce from the basic spot (the B-40).
