A 3/5 @ 50 A1 hands-off to A2 who runs to the B-45 and throws a backward pass to A3 standing at the B-48.
A3 runs out of bounds at the B-20 . During A2’s run , A88 held B1 at the B-30. RULING: The basic spot of enforcement is the end of the related run, i.e. the spot of the backward pass (B's 45). Result is A, 3-10 @ A's 45.

A 3/5 @ 50 A1 hands-off to A2 who runs to the B-45 and throws a backward pass to A3 standing at the B-48.
A3 runs out of bounds at the B-20 . During A3’s run , A88 held B1 at the B-40. RULING: Since the foul occurred during A3's run, the basic spot is the end of his run, i.e. B's 20. The foul is at B's 40--behind the basic spot. Therefore the result is A's ball, 3-5 @ midfield.

By the way, NCAA rules do concur that the spot of the backward pass will become the enforcement spot for a foul by Team A prior to the pass if it's behind the spot of the foul. So, in my opinion, NCAA and Federation officials should bag the spot of the pass regardless of whether the pass is completed or not. Jim's first play points that out vividly. The results are the same for NCAA and Federation rules.
