I'd be careful with that. A better statement would be "All defense fouls, basic spot." Team B remains team B throughout the down, even after a change of possession. Offense and defense change as team possession changes.

Using your example, B intercepts a pass at the B20, returns it to the B40, but was guilty of a hold at the B30 during the run. The penalty is enforced from the B30 because it was a foul by the OFFENSE behind the basic spot (B40).
