I figured home team and opposition was pretty clear. Let's try again.

This was in a high school game in Illinois. On fourth down, Team A was punting, but there was a fumble because Team A's punter has butter fingers. Team A's punter recovered and tried to run ahead. He was tackled out of bounds by Team B, and the play is blown dead. Team B did not get a first down.

One of Team B's players committed a late hit out-of-bounds after the whistle.

However, the Team A's illegal motion penalty was waved off and Team A was awarded possession and got an additional 15 yards and a first down.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Team B should have received possession and lost 15 yards from the spot, right? Because the play was blown dead, there should have been a turnover on downs.
