B ends up with the ball at the 15. Whats the call, where's the enforcement spot, and what are the options you would give to the capts.

My view would be, loose ball foul before possession by B, enforcement spot from the previous spot, which by rule, the beanbag, Right?? Capt. has the option to take result of play, which he would not!, or their ball after penalty, ( which would be half the distance 12 1/2 yd line. Yes No Maybe, Lets hear it guys!!!

Thanks
Tim

Because you have the correct enforcment, I am not sure if you meant what you said in your post.

This is not enforced from the previous spot. The previous spot is where the ball was last snapped (the B-30). This penalty is enforced from the BASIC spot (where A fumbled and the run ended) and is the B-25.
