It occurs to me that if this guard gets a hand on the ball, then the ball has gone OOB and A gets a throw-in. Would that be good strategy for the B team to practice? It would be a great way to stop a drive without an intentional foul. IF the ref would call it correctly. Or is it illegal? Or what?
There's nothing illegal about B setting up with one foot on the sideline. Is he OOB? Sure he is. But you know what? Players step OOB all the time.

Yes, you're play would be an OOB violation on B, A's ball for a throw-in.
