You see here is what happened. Up until 2 years ago I believed and had enforced it that way. Then at a clinic this play occurred and I did what I always did, they can choose the location for the snap. The lead clinician for R's who is a very respected official, told me that was incorrect, that if the foul was by B or was offsetting or someother replay then yes, but that if A fouled it locked the re-try to the spot of the foul or end of the run.

Then a year later a different clinician at the same clinic said almost the same thing in a classroom discussion.

Hadn't had this play come up since that clinic 2 years ago until Friday night. Team went for 2, scored, foul, replay, opted to kick, discussion about whether they could re-spot the ball, I went with clinic experience, and said, no, the foul locked it in. Kick was just enough off that the re-spot would have made it successful. Thankfully team A ended up winning the game, but I went back and I feel like the book tells me one thing but some high-priced and high-prized clinicians are telling me differently.
