Wade, that's a "depends" type of answer. As Mike stated prior in the thread, there is a time when the IP is canceled (ASA/NCAA). In fed play, yes, the offense should just keep running as the coach will always get a choice if the ball is put into play.
As also stated, when the ball is not put into play, NCAA would allow for a choice while Fed does not. Your example would be interesting to see in a game (similar to a runner who is obstructed rounding first and then jogs to second - that I have seen).
