I know Walt knows this, but to make sure you understand that it is only a loose ball play
if the ball gets thrown after the hold. If the hold occurs while the QB is in the pocket and then he runs the ball, hands it off, or gets sacked, it is a running play and the BS is the end of the run. You then would enforce the penalty from the EOR unless the hold is behind the EOR, in which case you'd enforce from the spot of the foul.
Juggling Ref brings up a good point about the hold after the pass. If that hold is against a linemen, it should not be thrown as it has no impact on the play.
