Fumble through the end zone

[shave-tail]

Here's the play: A is running toward his end zone, B comes from behind and punches the ball out. The result is the ball goes into and through B's end zone. We spot the ball on the 20 and give the ball B. My question is....why should B get the ball? I don't want rules quoted in this post...I already know the rule....I'm looking for a discussion on what was the thought process that would give the ball to B. I think the rule should be some type of penalty on A but A still keeps the ball (delay of game, procedure) basic spot or previous spot. Any other opinions?
