Padgett has given you the correct way to handle it.

Nevadaref,
That is the way I understand it too, but the rulebook
doesn't say that. Rule 7-5-7 states that
"a team retains this privilege (endline run) if the scoring team committs a violation or common file and the ensuing throw-in spot would have been on the end line.
Note that it says nothing about that privilege ending once the throw-in ends.
I've heard some say that the endline privileges end when the throw-in ends, but Case Book Play 7.5.7B disproves that. It shows that team B still has the end line run privileges even after A1 kicks the ball. As we all know, the throw-in ends when the passed ball touches or is touched by an inbounds player other than the thrower. So in this case, the throw-in has ended (with the kick) yet A1 retains endline run priveleges.
So it sounds as if the FED is saying that the endline privileges end when the throw-in ends
or if the throw-in ends with a violation by the defense.
Even the "Major Editorial Changes" this year don't totally clear it up. It says, "Clarified that a team will retain end-line run privileges after a violation or common foul." Note that it says nothing there about when those privileges end either.
Many in our state are being very liberal and letting the throwing team retain endline run privileges even if the foul or violation by the defense occurs after the throw-in ends, provided the ensuing throw-in is once again on the endline. They'll continue to do so until someone can show them a rule or case play that completely clears it up.
