hold on the defense
 
Team A has the ball on the opponents 35 yard line. B11 holds the wide receiver going out for a pass while the quarterback still has the ball. the quarterback then completes the pass to a different receiver for a 7 yard gain. where is the penalty enforced from? is this a loose ball penalty enforcement?

The penalty is enforced from the previous spot since the foul was considered to happen during a loose ball play.

CANADIAN RULING:

Minor fouls before yards were gained are applied from the line of scrimmage. Since the gain was less than the holding yardage penalty, A will accept the penalty and choose the 10 yards and repeat the down.
