IIRC, once upon a time the remedy for this situation was to turn the teams around and assign all points to the team into whose basket they were scored (i.e., B gets the points A scored, and vice versa). Based on the NFHS changing that rule to what it is currently, I don't think it's within the spirit or intent of the rule to count B's basket in this case for A.
