This one of about 20 cases in the case book that either
contradict the rule book or are presented vaguely enough to
cause A LOT of confusion. The problem with case 10.4.2B is
that they never tell you where A3 commits the hold (i.e.
beyond or behind the previous spot) and this DOES MATTER.
It is explicitly stated by 10-6 (All but one) that all
penalties are enforced from the Basic spot (which is the
previous spot in this case) EXCEPT fouls by the offense
committed behind the Basic spot during running AND loose
ball plays. This is a loose ball play by rule 10.3.1D.
So it should be 1st and goal from B's 18.
The application of the All But One rule during a loose ball
play is spelled out a little clearer in case 10.4.2D. Even
though it's not a "pass" play, it is a loose ball play
nonetheless.
I hope this helps ...
