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.

If A scores on a play when B commits a foul, A has the options to decline the foul or to take half the distance.
If B fouls on a sucessful try then only then can A take the foul to the kickoff. If it fails then obviously A retries the try.

In NFHS rules, a foul by B on a scoring play is enforced at the succeeding spot (the try), not declined. I recognize that this thread has a mix of NCAA/NFHS officials....
