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.
I think I've got it now except
