RTP is the only penalty that can always be added to the end of the run, even if it occurs during a loose ball play portion of the play.

BulldogMcC-
You are quoting directly from the rulebook. Rich only uses the rulebook as a guideline.
To quote Rich:
Yeah, sure. Whatever. And the best officials are the ones that know how to manage a game properly, not necessarily the ones that score the highest on the exam...
...If you want to be preachy about the rule book, go right ahead. I know the rules and study the rules often. But I don't think that the words are words on a sacred scroll or anything like that.
--Rich
When officials take this type of attitude towards the rulebook, enforcement errors (such as tacking a facemask foul onto the end of a loose ball play) are commonplace. Perhaps someday Rich will realize the rulebook IS a sacred scroll when it comes to penalty enforcement. AS most of us already know, while managing a game is important, a good white hat must also have a firm grasp on the rules.
