REPLY: There's one thing in particular in your description of the play that make me think a flag is warranted (NFHS, NCAA). You say that the defender "dives to block the punt " and then takes the kicker's plant leg out. This makes it abundantly clear that at least to the defender in question, it was obvious that a kick was being made. Therefore he is bound by running/roughing the kicker restrictions.
Assuming that you did call roughing, A's ball 1st and 10 from A's 47. Clock will start on the snap.
