But just as important here is Rule 3-3-4-b-4 and there is no reference to this in 8-2-2. The reference is identified in the Football Fundamentals in the back of the rulebook but for some reason not in 8-2-2.
I get what you are saying here, and am not in opposition to it, but I believe there was no need to reference 3-3-4b in 8-2-2, because it's simply a stated fact. True, to get to the subsequent kickoff in the next half/quarter, an exception had to be created in 3-3-4. It seems to me that the proper and appropriate place to deal with it was 3-3-4b, which they did. The fundamental also had to be amended.
IMO, the same thing should have been done to the 10-4-2 exception. Instead, it's been suggested we change the definition of succeeding spot, but only in this one situation...
