After the play, we talked it over and the feeling at the time was that there definitely was a penaltly, but what was it, and how were we going to explain to A's coaches that it should not have been blown dead. Illegal procedure was called and penalized on the try.

I agree with the other posters - no foul here, though I can certainly understand flagging it in a game situation.

However, if you do call illegal procedure, B has to decline this penalty to keep the score, since it occured before change of possession. (See casebook 8.2.2B)
