See A.R. 10-2-2-XXVI, which is pretty clear.

I don't see any problem in the language of the rule 10-2-2, it pretty consistently speaks of offense and the existence of neutral zone (which disappears after the change of team possession). This is a simple three-and-one enforcement with no neutral zone and the spot of the foul being behind the end of the related run.
