There are no options for A to get the ball back if that is your question. A can decline the penalty if they really want to but I don't think you will see that happen. The foul after the COP is penalized using ABO because B is now the offense.

OK yes I see that, I was thinking fumble even though we had an IFP. A recovered a dead ball--no problem with that. Now, back to my original question if B only fouls after a COP, then A has options, but heither one will get them the ball back, correct?

thanks
