You two are absolutely correct. We always have problems with these definitions. Just because a ball is "loose" it does not make it a loose ball play. Also, as seen in this example, you can have 2 plays during one down. The "loose ball play" ended when A81 caught the pass and a "running play" started. Therefore the basic spot would be the end of that run. When A81 recovered the ball it would have been a new "running play" had he be able to advance. Of course, the enforcement spot would not have changed. As was said before, this shows the importance of bean bags to mark spots.
