What is the "all-but-one" enforcement principle?
Question 62 on the NFHS Part One Exam.

Oh, so this years test has some essay questions I see
The all but one means that all penalties for fouls are enforced from the basic spot accept one. That one exception is for fouls by the offence behind the basic spot, which are enforced from the spot of the foul.
That's the short of it. The long of it is that first you need to know the difference between a loose ball play and a running play so you can find the basic spot. The basic spot can be the previous spot, secceeding spot, end of the run or related run if more then one. Then you need to remember that the offence and defense can change during the down. Then you must remember the yardage of enforcement for all the fouls that can occur during a down and in-between downs. Then know that there are a few exceptions to the all but one. And dont forget that live ball fouls that can be enforced as dead ball fouls. And you better know when to call a foul in the first place and if its really necessary. And don't forget your pre-snap duties, off-ball officiating, pass and running play keys.... and....and ...much much more .....OMG ...I got a lot of studying to do!
