This particular foul is enforced from the spot of the foul.

CT1, I didn't mean to walk on your reply, you beat me to the post.

Wait, I don't understand (again, I'm a fan, so haven't studied the rules). According the rule quote above (as I read it), the foul is enforced from the basic spot (which is the previous spot?) UNLESS the offense commits a foul behind the basic spot during a loose ball or running play. Do I have that right?

According to the OP, though, it's not a loose ball or running play, it's a passing play. So the exception doesn't come into play, right?

I'll readily admit my definitions may be off and I hope you forgive me as you correct me.

Thanks
