You guys are reading way to much into this foul!!!
As per 9-6-4a...
If he comes on the field during the down it is IP
As per 9-6-4a penalty...
Live Ball, Basic spot
As per 10-6...
If the offense fouls behind the basic spot it is a spot foul
Summary...
If a crew mate throws the flag for IP you don't have the power to decide where to enforce the penalty from rather the all-but-one is very specific as to where the foul is to be enforced from.
Restated...
Whether you like or dislike the rule change does not give you justification to change the penalty enforcment.
Hint...
I suggest you spend a little time discussing this situation in your pre-game meeting.
Epiloge...
Good officials know when to and when not to throw a flag.
Nuff said
