			Some reasons why this is illegal: 
 
2-23-4 
... For a place kick, the ball must be controlled on the ground or on a legal kicking tee by a teammate. 
This means that B can't kick the ball being held for a place kick by A. 
 
6-2-1 
A may punt, drop kick, or place kick from in or behind the neutral zone before team possession has changed. 
NOTE: This doesn't necessarily preclude B from kicking, but it's clear that the rule that allows A to kick doesn't allow B to kick... 
 
 
And to be clear that it's not just place kicks we're referring to: 
 
2-23-8 
A punt is a legal kick by a player who drops the ball and kicks it before it has touched the ground... 
The punter must be the dropper, so B can't punt the ball that A drops... 
 
2-23-6 
A drop kick is a legal kick by a player who drops the ball and kicks it when it touches the ground or as it is rising from the ground. 
Ditto... 
 
But A does not have to be in scrimmage kick formation to legally kick the ball...
