the logical reason for the rule you are trying to understand is simple:
Scenario 1: if the score is not tied, one team is the winner. you HAVE adminster penalty to determine the final result.
Scenario 2: if score is tied, you play the overtime. the penalty occurred AFTER the horn sounded; which means anything that happened occured in the overtime period. You have to penalize the infraction in the same quarter in which it occurred.
