BITS's last post of yesterday evening gives a very good description of how to handle this situation.
Speaking per NFHS Rules, the rules that we should be looking at are: R5-S4-A1, R7-S5-A1, and R10-S1-A5a. R7-S5-A1 does not apply because it presumes that both teams are at courtside. That leaves R5-S4-A1 and R10-S1-A5a that apply to this situation. R10-S1-A5a is the primary rule to apply in this situation. First charge Team B per R10-S1-A5a and shoot the TF free throws; then if Team B still refuses to play, forfeit the game to Team A.
