Had a clear case of assisting the runner last friday night. A75 grabbed the rb (A32) AT THE b-36, and literally spun him and propelled him another 10 yards. He fell down from the spin at the B-23. So the flag is thrown, and we mark off the 5 yds. My question: why is this not a LOD penality. Not only did the offense gain a net of 8 yards as a result of the play, it was still 1st down.

He gained 8 yards because you enforced the penalty from the wrong spot. The foul was at the B36, not at the B23. The spot of the foul is behind the basic spot, so the foul is penalized from the B36.
That's your goof.
