ease up guys!
I had trouble grasping this concept this year. As a first year white hat, when I started enforcing penalties it didn't seem right that A could get yardage gained + penalty yardage, not have a 1st down and THEN replay the down. As I enforce it more and more, and spend some time in my rule book, case book and comic book, I finally understand it.
I never thought about this principle before b/c my white hat just told me where to put the ball without any explanation. But now, I got it...
