A fair catch makes the ball clearly dead. This is a dead-ball personal foul 15 yards from the succeeding spot and has the same rule reference as, for example, a late hit out of bounds.

As a side note, don't let your B fall into the logic of trying to protect with his whistle a player who has made a fair catch. If the player is hit after he makes a fair catch, it is a foul regardless of how fast the official blew the whistle.
