Coming out of the timeout, A1 positions herself at the free throw line. The rest of Team A players remain in their backcourt. All of Team B's players remain in team A's backcourt.
According to rule 8.1.4c, the first two lane spaces "shall" be occupied by Team B. I informed Team B that they needed to have players in those spaces, which caused Team B's coach complain that "they didn't have to have players there". After a few seconds, Team B relented and put two of their players in the first two lane spaces.
My question: what is the penalty if Team B refuses to occupy the first two lane spaces? I can't find anything in the rule book or the casebook to address this situation.

After a TO, use case book play 9.1.2SitA.
After a foul, etc., use case book play 10.1.5SitC(b).
