[The Ref of OZ!!!]

I think the whole point of this discussion, the test question, and the rule is for penalty enforcement. Why else would you consider whether the play is a loose-ball play or not???

I notice that rule 10-4-2 says; The basic spot is the previous spot:
a. For a foul which occurs simultaneously with the snap...... (ie. Loose-ball play)

The snap is classified right along with other loose-ball plays. Finally, I've found a rule that actually makes sense!!!!
