Walt - The foul is on A, not B.

Theisey - All fouls are enforced from the spot of the foul when the spot of the foul is behind the basic spot - 10-6 (in this case, the basic spot is the end of the run).

So we penalize 15 yards from the spot of the foul, 1st and 10, A. (I interpret "grab and hold" as fitting the parameters of "grasping" - 9-4-3-h.)

(I'll admit I'm splitting hairs if the foul being committed "while he's being tackled" is the exact same spot as the end of the run, but it's still techincally enforced from the spot of the foul. I've seen tackles that take 10 yards to complete. For instance, if he started being tackled at the B18, grasped the facemask at the B15, and then was finally downed at the B10, we wouldn't give him those 5 yards he got after committing a foul to be penalized from.)
