I'll take a stab at this one. I'm assuming no time-out has been called. Line the B players up and demand that the A players take their position ... if they refuse (team A) and continue to 'delay' it is a technical foul. I believe it is a team technical and is not charged directly or indirectly to the coach. There is no warning in this situation.
If you get no action from team A, issue a 2nd team technical and sternly tell the coach that a forfeit is impending. I would not give them the third technical. With the two technicals the officials would have given the coach plenty of opportunity to rectify his/her lack of judgement.
Had a time-out been called, you shoot the first FT with a lane violation by team A. Then you demand that team A take their position before any other FT attempts are made. Then repeat paragraphs 1 and 2 above.
