I'm not a coach.
When A tells me they're taking a knee here is what I do.
I get my U's attention and very loudly tell him, "they're taking a knee, my whistle. (I didn't tell the defense anything, but I did tell my U who needs to know what I know) and if anyone else (team B wink, wink) hears, great.
I pinch in about 5 yards closer than my normal spot, when the knee goes down, I get on the whistle heavy and hard, just to make sure action stops. (This is the same whistle I give when QB or HB picks up a bad exchange with a knee on the ground and gets up and starts to run.
