Forgive me if I'm wrong!!!
The procedure you describe is followed (only) during a resuming of play procedure (after a TO, for example).

IF it's not a resuming of play procedure (and the original situation wasn't), there's no "warning" -- it's an immediate T if B refuses to occupy the spots.

Personally, I place great emphasis on the word "refuses" -- if B is just confused, or not listening to the refs, then I give them every chance to get in the spots.
