Why not just penalized the PI, after all, if faced with the choice any player or coach would choose the PI, why confuse everyone with the choice?
Because the spot following the enforcement for holding would be more favorable under NFL (and, IIRC, AFA and USFA) rules.

So, you ask, why not just decide which is more favorable and announce only that? Because I have this quaint idea that more information is better than less.
