If a player commits a foul during a play that is under review, what is the result?

When a player commits a foul during a play that is under review, the appropriate response is to apply the punishment for the foul after the review has concluded. This approach is consistent with NFHS rules, which dictate that all penalties must be enforced following a review, allowing the officials to make a fully informed decision about the play in question and any infractions that occurred during it.

This means that even though the review is taking place, the nature of the foul is not dismissed or overlooked; rather, it is taken into account once the review is completed. The outcome of the review may influence subsequent actions—such as confirming a touchdown or a turnover—while still holding the offending team responsible for the foul that was committed during that same play. By handling it this way, the integrity of the game is maintained, ensuring that all elements—both the play and the penalty—are carefully addressed.
