Cool Sorry Tom Hinrichs but no ensuing kickoff enforcment option on this play!

Restated GPC2:

A) If the foul occurred while the ball was live (prior to the ball crossing the goal line) it is a live ball foul penalized from the spot of the foul, and the touchdown is cancelled.

However...
B) If the foul occurred after the ball was dead (after the ball crossed the goal line) it is a dead ball foul penalized from the succeeding spot (which is the try). The ensuing kickoff is not an option in this situation as this was a dead ball foul. Sorry Tom Hinrichs but: All dead ball fouls are enforced from the succeeding spot, which in this situation the succeeding spot is the try. Dead ball fouls are not applicable in rule 8-2-2.

It appears your White Hat elected to use option A which certainly was a valid option.

The option for enforcement on the kickoff is gone not only because it was a dead-ball foul but also because it was a foul by A. We can only carry over fouls on scoring plays committed by the opponent of the scoring team. If B does it then we are either marking it off on the try or the kickoff based on when it happened. But if A does it we are either marking it off from the spot of the foul or on the try.
