If i'm not mistaken, the basic spot for enforcement on a loose ball play is the prev line of scrimmage.
I'm pretty sure (a) and (b) are enforced from the LOS, but i'm confused on (c). If this was a 60 yd play, and the hold occurred near B's goal line, it doesn't seem right that this would be enforced from the prev LOS... i want to say this would be a spot foul, but i thought fouls by the O in front of the basic spot are penalized from the basic spot...
Set me straight, fellas. Thanks

CANADIAN RULING:
While the pocket has no significance in Canadian football, (a) is applied from the LS.
In (b): if the ball is in the air, a hold is rare. I would think it only matters if it's against a receiver, in which case it's probably PI instead. But if it's not and whiel the ball is airborne, apply from LS.
In (c), if yards were gained, apply from Point Ball Held. If yards were not gained, apply from LS.
