YES - NFHS Rule 3-3-3a

IMHO, succeeding spot is often synonymous with end of run, such as when big ole' Bubba wanders out on the field to git a better look while the play is still going but doesn't participate. That is a live ball foul with succeeding spot enforcement which will probably be the end of the run - unless it was a loose ball play via definition. It which case the succeeding spot would also be also be the preceding spot. With the tack-on rule, end of run couldn't be used as there might not be any run, just the kick rolling dead. The location of the kick becoming dead would be the succeeding spot.
While there may be fly=poop in the pepper shaker, it still tastes good eAt& on my 'tatters and greens :).

Apply that same logic to a field goal that scores. If K kicks a field goal that ties the game on the last play of regulation, and R fouls, 8-4-3 states K can keep the score and have the penalty enforced at the succeeding spot. Where is that succeeding spot? At any other time in the game, the succeeding spot would be the kickoff, unless it’s the last play of the half. but not in this situation. In this situation the succeeding spot is the first play in overtime. Why? Because that’s the spot where the ball would next be put in play if no foul had occurred.
Which brings up another question. Why is it that on scoring plays we have no problem setting aside 3-3, but on the 10-4-2 exception it’s forbidden? It’s still an accepted live ball foul. Other than just because?

I think it comes down to spirit of the rule and philosophy. On a made field goal, the philosophy is the foul to not go unpunished and the succeeding spot is clearly the next kickoff or OT.
With the play we are talking about, the spirit is to prevent a re-kick. Also the 10-4-2 exception states when k will not be next to put the ball into play. We don’t know that if we move to OT.
I totally get where you are coming from though, but I think that is why the difference on the thought process.
