2) Time has expired on a 1st and 10 pass play, A12 throws the ball no-where near an A player and is flagged for grounding, but B56 picks off the pass - during the return, B56 fumbles, A recovers and returns the fumble for a TD. B must accept the penalty to avoid the TD, but because the penalty carries a LOD, A does not get another play.
The rule is pretty specific and LOD plays are not an exception to this. I guess your clinician was giving out bad information
3-2-3
Extension of Periods
ARTICLE 3. A period shall be extended until a down (other than a try), free
from live-ball fouls not penalized as dead-ball fouls, has been played when:
a. A penalty is accepted for a live-ball foul(s) not penalized as a dead-ball
foul that occurs during a down in which time expires (Exception: Rule
10-2-2-g-1) (A.R. 3-2-3-I-VIII).
b. Offsetting fouls occur during a down in which time expires.
c. An inadvertent whistle is sounded or an official signals the ball dead
during a down in which time expires.
