NFHS - If the foul occurred before A23 crossed the goal line, why do not we have an all but one enforcement? The ball was not dead, it was a personal foul (whatever the action was, it was a contact foul), so by rule, we should go back 15 from the spot of the foul (a foul by the offense behind the basic spot) and replay the down.
If it were after he crossed the goal line, the ball is indeed dead, and we would assess on the try.

Foul was on B [defense] so we wouldn't want to penalize A [offense] by bringing the enforcement spot back to the "point of the foul" we would take it to the basic spot which would be the end of the run, and the end of the run was the goal line. So penalty enforcement would go the the succeeding spot, the try.
