The IDF makes this an interesting play! Because the pass occurred from behind the neutral zone, this became a loose ball play and would constitute re-playing of the down.
Read 5-1-3f closely.
The team in possession at the end of the down, if R is first to touch a scrimmage kick while it is beyond the expanded neutral zone, unless the penalty is accepted for a non PSK foul which occurred before the kick ended.
The foul definitely occurred after the kick ended. So why wouldnt it be Ks ball with a new series after penalty enforcement?
If I were a good lawyer, I could argue either side with vigor!
Change the foul to an illegal pass from beyond the neutral zone. Whos ball and what down then?
