Think I did this one right!?

R called roughing the passer. Pass completed with LJ calling defensive pass interference.

Assistant coach for team on defense goes bananas gets unsportsmanlike.

Here was my speech to the offensive captain.

Captain, we have two penalties and you get your choice of one. The pass was complete. There was a roughing the passer, so, we can add 15 yards from where the ball was caught. Or, there was defensive pass interference which would take the ball back to the line were it was snapped and go fifteen yards. Both fouls will give you an automatic first down. Then, after you make a decision on one of those, there was an unsportsmanlike foul which will take you half the distance from wherever the ball is placed after the first foul and, of course, that will give youa first down.

Would appreciate any ideas.

Notice I never told the captain about declining the penalty because if he did there would have been an unsportsmanlike on the offensive coach for his remarks.
