If B2 is NOT the goalie in the crease, then he can not touch the ball with his hands. If a player touches the ball with his hands during the game, it is a techenical foul - illegal procedure. Since the ball was loose when he first touched it, you would call a play on if the ball remained loose, but if he subsequently catches the ball with his crosse, as you describe, then you would blow the whistle, and award the ball to team A at the spot of the infraction, unless it took place in the attack box, then you would move the ball outside the attack nox and restart play.

The designated goalie is the only player who can touch the ball with his hands, and only while he is in the crease.
