B. The very example provided from the 10-second subtraction bulletin unequivocally tells us that ANY foul can qualify to invoke the 10-second subtraction when the foul is committed when the ball is dead and the clock is running.

I think there should be an editorial change from "with the intent of stopping the clock" to "causing the clock to stop." Then the bulletin would be in line with the rule language.

Concur. Fortunately, the bulletins make it clear what we are to do.

With that, the following play should be a breeze...

PLAY 2: Second and 7 on B's 20. Neither team has timeouts remaining. A88 is tackled near B's 13. A few seconds after the ball is dead, A78 commits a personal foul. When the officials flag this foul and stop the game clock, the game clock shows 0:07 in the second quarter. A measurement shows that Team A made a first down by one inch.

Why not.  Clock stopped to award team A a first down.  The 10-second subtraction therefore does not apply.  Enforce the 15 yard PF on A, 1st & 10 A at the 28, and wind the game clock on the RFP.
