This is pretty basic stuff. As R I always start my choices to the captain after a foul with this phrase: "If you decline the penalty it will be (and whatever the play result was)." Saying in essence, if you decline the penalty it is as if the foul never happened, thus the result of the play is what you are left with. In this case, if B declines, the outcome is a touchdown for A...sounds like the official has some zebra virtigo!
Rule 5-2-1 is pretty clear: "when a penalty is declined the number of the next down is the same as if the foul had not occurred."
good luck with this guy!
