If he did pass on a foul here is where he would tell me if we DO get together and I will change the call myself.
Here is where I tell him that I am not changing an obvious out of bounds call off A because he passed on a foul.

How the heck do you explain that to B's coach, when everyone (including you) saw and knows that A was the only one to touch the ball before it went OOB?

That's a can of worms you do not want opened. Nothing good can come from it. Changing it in this manner will linger....

Awarding the ball to A in this situation has to sold immediately. Then, if B's coach asks, you can respond with "either way A gets the ball, do you want the foul (and possibly shots) or just the OOB?

If the foul caused the problem, a good coach will understand, be good with it, and will move on.
