I know the original post was about NCAA, but this is a great example of a couple of important differences between NCAA and NFHS rules:
Under NFHS
First, the muff by A
would lead to the touching by B being ignored, which means that PSK enforcement will apply here.
Second, the right of B to take the ball at the spot of first touching is only cancelled if a penalty is
accepted or if B fouls
after touching the kick.
So, if the penalty is declined, B 1/10 @ B33. But the penalty will almost certainly be accepted, resulting in B 1/10 @ B16. (15 yards from the PSK spot, the end of the kick.)
