RULE 10-2-4 [Kicks - "Tack-on" Penalty Enforcement]

Rule 10-2-4: Penalties for all fouls by the kicking team other than kick-catch interference during a free kick play or a scrimmage kick play (except field goal plays) are enforced at the previous spot or at the spot where the subsequent dead ball belongs to Team B, at the option of Team B.

Comment: The penalty may be enforced from the spot of illegal touching only if the spot of illegal touching is the spot where the ball becomes dead. This spot could be called the spot of "illegal recovery".
