REPLY: sloth...this is just one more of the reasons that I cringe when I hear people paraphrase the all-but-one principle by simply saying, "Hit 'em where it hurts the most." If they were to do this in your OP play, they would have been enforcing from the dead ball spot (incorrectly). There's no short-cut substitute for ABO.

And as far as rule reference, the important thing to remember is that the PSK spot (spot where the kick ends) is defined as the 'basic spot.' And then just apply ABO--you have a foul by the offense either ahead of or behind the 'basic spot.'
