Wouldnt this be a foul for intentional grounding with a resulting loss of down, if accepted, in addition to the safety? And if this is a safety then A would kick and during the Kick is a "Tee" permitted. I know it is not allowed in NFL but I have found some conflicting information regarding a Kick following a safety in NFHS.
Yes which is exactly what Al posted. Except it’s not in addition to the safety. The penalty enforcement in that situation IS the safety. In other words, we are not marking off 5 yds on the kickoff. A/K will kickoff from their own 20. They may use any type of free kick to do so, including the traditional kick from a Tee. They also may choose to use a punt in this case, which BTW, is forbidden during other free kicks.
Also, the loss of down aspect has no bearing on this play. It’s not like we go back to previous spot mark off 5 and play 4th down. Because it’s a spot foul, the only outcome here is a safety. If B declines the penalty, A is in possession in their own end zone after forcing the ball in there. Safety. If B accepts the penalty we have a spot of enforcement (end of run) in A’s end zone which by rule, is a safety.
