NFHS Rules require Team A to put five players on the court because they have five eligible players remaining. Team A must have their fifth player return from the locker room and play in the fourth quarter of the JV game. If Team A refuses to start the fourth quarter for five players, then it loses the game by forfiet (dang I hope I spelled that word correctly). There is nothing really difficult about this rule. Just enforce it.

We are talking about two different scenarios - in mine, a coach sends this JV/V player out while there are still 5 eligible players. After that, one of the 5 then fouls out. At that point, I allow them to continue playing with only 4.
In the scenario as you described, I agree with you.
