In reality, I really don't care whether or not B "is ready" as long as they're on the field on their side of the neutral zone. What I meant is that I would not blow the ready until B comes back to the field. This also would include after a TO. Though in that case (after TO) I would flag them for DOG. If the coach refuses to send his team back onto the field. I stand by what I had said earlier.
