Oh my gosh! What a mess.
First, I would call a conference just to make sure the official said what was reported by the coach.
This is a situation where somebody is not going to be satisfied no matter what you do. Therefore, I would have a "do over." It will take about ten minutes to peel Coach A off the clouds.
Now I hope this happens in the second half because that official is due one tongue lashing for not knowing the rules and would not want him returning in the second half with his rear-end missing.
Personally, I hope there is no official who does not understand the difference between a scrimmage kick and a free kick and that a kick after a safety is a free kick. However, there are those who come to the game to pick up the check.
