So in b, isn't it first down for A at A's 18 after enforcement?
The basic spot on a loose ball play is the previous spot,
A's 3.

this is not a loose ball play, don't get confused by the fumble.

Okay, why isn't it part of a loose ball play????
Rule 10-3-1 A loose ball play is action duing:
c. A backward pass (including the snap), illegal kick or fumble by A from behind the neutral zone and prior to a change of team possession.
play was 1st and ten from A's 3 (97 yards to go for a touchdown for A); A fumbles on the 2 yard line; that is behind the neutral zone, when B kicked the ball in the end zone it was a loose ball and team possession had not changed.
So why isn't the basic spot the previous spot?
