Thanks, Bob M. I was going to dig through my old books when I got home. I distinctly remember that change. I recall a similar inequity from the old rule. If B intercepted and was tackled by the face mask(live ball), the fifteen yard penalty was administerd from the goal line, if accepted. However, if there was a dead ball foul after B was down in the end zone, it was administered from the succeeding spot, the 20 yard line. I think "loose ball" administration is so ingrained in us "old timers" that I never contemplated that someone could read 10-4-5d in that way. MJT's interpretation would have allowed a foul by R during a punt that went into the endzone to be administered from the twenty or spot of the foul, prior to PSK coming in last year.
