Sounds like we're all in violent agreement.

I guess my question is, who decides their part of the penalty enforcement first? Isn't it Team A since they would have the ball as result of the play (minus the penalties)?

You go in the order of how they happened. Start with B's captain for the IF penalty, then go to A's captain for the BIB penalty.

You're right, but for the wrong reasons. The team last in possession gets the first choice. Since "B" had team possession when the ball became dead, they get the first choice. (10-2-2)

My bad. For some reason I was linking this to the enforcement of dead ball fouls. Probably don't want to do that...

I also have to change my mind on changing my mind. If B's BIB ends up being accepted, the enforcement spot is the 20, not the spot of the foul. Basic spot for enforcement after a touchback is the 20. It's a defensive foul (since A has the ball now), so enforcement is from the basic spot.

I pledge to not change my mind again, but I reserve the right to rescind this change of mind.

SO WHAT'S THE CORRECT ANSWER, ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!

The correct answer has been posted in numerous formats.

1. The result of the play is a touchback.
2. B gets first choice of penalty acceptance, since they were last in possession.
3. They will accept the IF penalty, which results automatically in a double foul, and we'll replay the down.
4. If B foolishly declines the penalty for A's foul, A gets a choice and will accept the BIB penalty: 10 yards from the basic spot, which is the A20 after the touchback, so 1/10 for A from the A30.
