After talking about this w/ a fellow official, I see my mistake. Had B not fumbled, they could have declined all of A's penalties and then had the ball. But since A had the ball at the end of the play, all of the live ball fouls are going to offset.
He had a question on the coach penalty. NCAA rules wouldn't this be Illegal Interference instead of USC? Rule 9-1-4.
"ARTICLE 4. a. No substitute, coach, authorized attendant or any person subject to the rules, other than a player or official, may interfere in any way with the ball or a player while the ball is in play.
PENALTY-15 yards from the basic spot. The referee may enforce any penalty he considers equitable, including awarding a score."
If it's illegal interference, would it be a live ball foul and offset with all of the other fouls?
