How about this one. A dead-ball personal foul on a successful try and then an unsportsmanlike on coach. Kickoff moved up 30 yards to A-30. Kickoff then goes OOB inside the 10. Officials use the thought that kickoff OOB is placed at A-35. So ball was placed 5 yards further up-field than where it was kicked. ALWAYS remember 25 yards from previous spot.

In this example I would say that the ball should have been placed at A-15. This way the penalty didn't take the ball more than half-the-distance to the goal. I don't think there is anything in the book that really justifies this but what if the kickoff was at A-25 or closer. Then you can't put the ball in play 25 yards from previous spot.

Does anyone agree with this or would you just remove the option to place the ball 25 yards from previous spot if it were kicked from A-25?
