Why was this declined?

Looking at the situation, why did my coach decline this penalty? It would have given me a first down at a critical spot. Not sure if it didn't recognize that would be the case and was focusing on the good punt.

Luckily didn't affect the outcome of the game after all said and done.

4-3-NED 49 (1:51) 16-Raymond Cardenas punts 39 yards to NED 10. Fair Catch by 82-Steven Ayala. PENALTY - Offsides (NED 92-Donald Burt) (Declined)

By NFL/NCAA rule, this penalty should be tacked on....in real life, the officials will take this out of the coaches hands (unless they have a superstar returner) and just tack on from the dead ball spot.

Also, be aware, a team can decline a penalty.
