Wording in Case Book

[sm_bbcoach]

PLease help to clarify for me. I can not seem to make it make sense to me: NF Case book; PG 47, rule 7.1.33 SNap Infraction:
situation....blah blah blah Ruling: Blah blah blah....The covering official will sound his whistle and the ball remains dead. A snap infraction is a dead ball foul and the penality of 5 yards is administered from the SUCCEEDING SPOT. ?????

How can you have a succeeding spot if the ball reamined dead and never became alive? Isn't succeeding spot the next spot.....the spot after the play happened??

Thanks!
