Aj....On that particular play, the basic spot is the previous spot. If B fouls beyond the line of scrimmage, then the basic spot is the previous spot. Like wise if B fouls behind the line of scrimmage. If A fouls down field, the basic spot is the previous spot. If A fouls behind the line of scrimmage, then it is that 'one' and it is a spot foul. When, a running play goes beyond the line of scrimmage, the basic spot moves provided that there is no flag. The ball where ever it ends is now the basic spot. If there is a clip on the fifty and the ball is downed at the two yard line, A's foul was behind the basic spot.Therefore it is a spot foul.All other fouls on A beyond the basic spot or by B anywhere is enforced at the basic spot (2 yard line). Page 64, fig. 3. This only applies to a run. It is a little confusing but you must read over and over page 63 and 64... Larry Gonski
