I agree -- don't negate the scoring opportunity.
But, then why negate the following defensive opportunity, or the scoring opportunity after that, or ....
If A mistakenly goes to the bench, then s/he stays there until the next opportunity to substitute. If A needs to call a TO (or intentionally throw the ball out of bounds, or trabvel, or ...) to make that happen, so be it.
