I would think that Team B would have to decline Team A's penalty to keep the ball, and then take the 15 yards for the UC foul?

Oy. First off, USC will
never be part of a double foul under NFHS rules.
Secondly, USC will
never "undo" a turnover that occurred during the play - when enforced, it is always from the succeeding spot.
Thirdly, even if USC were a live-ball foul, since B had the ball at the end of the down and committed no live-ball fouls
before the CoP, they have the option of keeping the ball by declining all live-ball fouls against A and having all fouls against themselves enforced.
In short, assuming the details were as stated, there were at least three major ideas that should have caused the crew to enforce in a different manner.
