REPLY: Yes they have the option of either accepting or declining the penalty for B foul(s) after COP.

REPLY: A could refuse the penalty for B's clip...but why would they? If they do B, has the ball 1-10 from B's 45 rather than from B's 25

REPLY: No...we're saying that A can't take the ball because the IFP was incomplete. All A did was recover a dead ball. If A chose to decline the penalty, the ball would be awarded to B, 1-10 from the spot of B's illegal pass.
