Question

The July issue of Referee magazine has a "holding enforcement" caseplay on page 66. The ruling is that the 10 yard holding penalty is enforced from A's 15 yard line (the end of the run) giving A first and 10 at A's 25. I agree with the enforcement, I just don't see how A gets a first down as a result. Shouldn't it be A's ball on the 25, second and 10?

Not all of us have the magazine in front of us. Could you please describe the whole play so it can be answered and understood by all.

Peace

Sorry about that. Here is the text from p. 66 of the July issue of Referee:

Play: Second and 15 for team A on its own 20 yardline. Quarterback A1, unable to find an open receiver, begins to scramble and runs toward the line of scrimmage. A1 is downed on his own 15 yardline. B2 is flagged for holding eligible receiver A3. Since it's obvious A1 was trying to pass, is team B's holding penalty enforced from the end of the run or from the previous spot? Ruling: A1's intent is irrelevant; that is a running play. In NFHS, the basic spot is the end of the run. The 10-yard penalty is enforced from team A's 15 yardline, resulting in first and 10 for team A from its 25 yardline. (The ruling is also explained for NCAA rules, but I'm only interested in the NFHS application).

Second and 15 for A at their own 20, the line-to-gain is the 30. The ten-yard penalty is enforced from the 15 placing the ball at the 25. Replay the down. Second and 5.

I agree with Ed.. 2nd and 5. Use end of run. Referee had the spot of enforcement right but the down and distance wrong.

If it's 2D/15 @ A20, is the line-to-gain not the A35?

10y from the end of the run is the A25, and with DR, it gives, 2D/10 @ A25.

Just asking.
