Lightbulb Canadian Ruling

This is pretty basic, but I just wanted to throw this out for discussion.

A quarterback rolls out right, I'm following him. As he nears the sideline, he throws the ball downfield, takes two steps out of bounds, and gets a two handed shove in the back while well out of bounds. I throw a flag.

LJ comes up and tells me that the pass was intercepted and the interceptor stepped out of bounds before the hit on the QB. (While this would normally be quite rare, the pass was quite short to the sidelines and the hit on the passer was WAY late.)

So, how would this be enforced?
CANADIAN RULING:

I do not believe that RTP can be flagged once B goes out of bounds. There can still be a flag for UR, but I would not rule RTP. Since B had already intercepted the ball, and in fact, had ended the play, the UR is post-COP, and is enforced 15 yards back from the Point Ball Dead (dead ball spot), 1D/10 for B.
