Under normal circumstances, you would ignore the IW and look to enforce the foul, as the foul trumps the whistle. In this case though, the foul is immaterial as B would decline the formation foul and take the result of the play (interception).
B 1/10 @ yd line where play was blown dead.
Hope you got it right.

Unfortunately we didn't. The foul screwed us up. Well, me blowing the whistle really screwed things up. Not a good deal overall.
