Some reasons why this is illegal:

... 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...

Thanks for input. I'll be able to better explain this to the coach the next time that it happens.
