Football Officiating question

[UnionStreet77]

Scenario: pass interference is called on the d, but the offense still scores. Officials assess the penalty on the ensuing kick off. This can't be right, can it?

I don't think so.

The ball is dead once it crosses the goal line. There are no “free fouls” in youth or high school football, meaning if the defense commits a foul during a live ball (i.e. defensive holding or pass interference) and the offense scores on the play, the penalty can be enforced on the try or succeeding kickoff.

100% correct, as always

most fans will not understand and most coaches will probably not agree but it is the correct call because of the score on the play and how or when the infraction incurred .
