I believe this is a legal play. I believe it probably SHOULDN'T be, but I can't think of a reason why we'd have a flag. Thoughts?

CANADIAN RULING:
The Canadian ruling may be slightly more clear than the US text as it says "...may not further participate in that play...", meaning there is no restriction on where that player is standing for a flag to be warranted.
Penalty is 10 yards: B 1D/10 @ B-11.
If B wishes to restrict A's return, there are other ways to do it that if also violate rules, are only penalized by 5 yards, and don't require the accuracy and luck found in the OP's kick.
