In BOTH instances the players from Team A do not move to the division line as you instructed. What do you do?

Dog, that's what I responded to.

What basis rules-wise do you have for making players move to the division line?

And if any official instructs players that they MUST stand behind the division line, then that official does NOT know the applicable rules and was completely wrong for doing so. That was my point.
