The basic spot is the previous spot. The foul occurred behind that spot. Enforce from the spot of the foul. |
FED: enforce from the spot of the foul (for reasons that SC Official mentioned)
NCAA: enforce from previous spot NFL: enforce from previous spot |

And the clock starts on the....????????
[NCAA: snap] |
It is interesting that this question was asked. I had this happen in my game this past Friday. I enforced from the spot of the foul, as it was behind the basic spot. The Head linesman wants to discuss why I did that at half. The H also works as an R. He told me that the all but one only applies to a running play and that it should have been enforced from the previous spot, because it was a loose ball play. When I explained the all but one, he told me that I could never convince him otherwise.
Is there any place that would be helpful in showing this official? Or should I just move on? |

I tried the case book route. That was when the "you will never convince me" came up. I told him that I wouldn't try to convince him.
