We enforced this from the end of the run but believe that to be incorrect and we should have enforced it from the previous spot and replayed the down.

Please let me know what you think is correct and give any case book or rule references if you have them.

Thanks for the help.
CANADIAN RULING: The FM was between the kick and the catch, so 15 yards from the end of the run.
