2nd and 7 from the B10. A22 runs the ball to the B5 where he is tackled. During the run B35 commits holding in the end zone (why? no idea but he is a football player and not real bright). Where is the foul enforced from?? Under all but 1 should be the end zone but we know we cannot do that.

Here is why I am bringing this up. 1st and 10 from the A10, B11 runs off the field thinking there are 12 players on defense. He realizes there are only 10 and runs back on after the snap at the A20. A22 is tackled on a running play at the A15. Per the Fed/Referee pub handed out this would be enforced from the spot of the foul (A20) and it would be 1st and 10 for A at the A35.

Now I realize it has been a long off season and after calling a ton of baseball in the last 5 months my screws are a bit rusty, but am I missing something here?
The IP foul doesn't make any sense. Why would you penalize team B from the spot where he returned to the field? I think this is a mistake. Both would be enforced from the end of the run. Something from Redding's NFHS study guide which helps clear this up, "When the foul is by the team not in possession, the penalty is enforced from the basic spot." In both your examples using this philosophy, you would enforce from the end of the run.
