Larry,
I do not think I am confused, anymore. I asked this question to many referees in my association. End of the run seems to be the proper enforcement spot.
10.4.3
The basic spot is the spot where the related run ends for a foul which occurs during a running play as defined by 10.3.2.
This is further illistrated when you read the rules in 10.5 Special enforcement rules
Art 3
The enforcement spot for any foul by the defense is the goal line when the run ends in the end zone and would result in a safety.
I read from this that normally the enforcement spot would be from the end of the run. However, when the end of the run is in the endzone and there is a foul by B, you move the enforcement spot forward to the goal line and mark it off from there.
Case example:
1st and 10 for A at A's own 6 yard line. During a running play B1 grasps A3 facemask and A3 is tackled in the endzone.
Enforcement spot is the goalline in this situation not the end of the run OR the previous spot. After a 15 yard march off. It would result in first and one from A's own 15 yard line.
Please help me out is you feel this is totally wrong. Please site examples and Case studies too.
Regards,
AJ
