Thanks Ed for your answer. Your articles were very concise and well-written.

I know that unsportsmanlike conduct fouls are enforced from the succeeding spot.

What I'm searching for is the rule reference that states where other noncontact fouls by players are enforced.

Okay, going back to my question regarding NFHS case book play 1.5.6...

Let's say you see A88 unbuckling his chin strap while the play is in progress. You throw your flag for failure to properly wear required equipment during the down. According to case book play 1.5.6 this 5 yard penalty is enforced from the succeeding spot.

I still can't find the specific rule reference for this under rule 1 or rule 10. Is there one or is the case play the only guidance on this issue?

Thanks for your help.
