An IW during a loose ball goes to the team last in possession at the point of fumble. That is the A-32 yard line. In Canada, we need to know where the ball was when the holding was flagged. I will assume that it is before yards are gained. (It'd be odd for yards to be gained, a hold happens, A1 then runs to behind the LTG, then fumbles.)

The IW means point ball dead is the A-32. B can decline the hold, 2nd and 3 from the A-32, or accept the hold, 1st and 20 from the A-15.
