REPLY: Interestingly, for as much significance as the words "behind" and "beyond" have in penalty enforcement, the Fed has never seen fit to define them. The NCAA has. For our purposes, BEYOND the basic spot implies that the foul occurred on the defense’s side of the basic spot; BEHIND means it occurred on the offense’s side of the basic spot. Clearly, on a change of possession, those terms will flip along with the offense-defense designations.
