Penalty enforcement

[chymechowder]

that's a good question. never thought of that. so youre saying:

during a 30 yd TD pass, team A holds. and the receiver, after crossing the goal line spikes the ball.

strictly speaking, you back them up 10, then back them up an additional 15 for the dead ball USC, and replay the down.

but in a high school game, I think some crews might "quietly pick up" the USC flag here and just enforce the hold.

while technically not the correct thing, the thinking being that nullifying the TD and assessing 10 yards is enough of a penalty. (note: if it was a dead ball personal foul on team A, then yeah, we're walking off 25).
