I read the play as the coach complaining that B1 couldn't stand there. If I read it correctly, the coach was wrong.

It is true that B1 could be called for a foul if his position resulted in contact, be the mere act of standing there is not contrary to the rules. (Had this been on the circle, B1 would have been asked to move. Had B1 moved to a similar position on the circle during the "restricted period", the B1 would have been guilty of a violation.)

Yup, shoulda been plainer on that one. Legal to set up within a step- until contact occurs.
