Offensive coach said that the only base they could touch to get him out was first

That's true for leaving 1B too soon, not for the miss at 2B.

I replied they can touch any base previous to where the runner was at that time (i.e. if the ball beat him to 2nd, if he was running correctly in reverse, he's still be out).

The appeal of leaving too soon must be at 1B, regardless of where the runner is. But even the MLB umps blew that one a few years ago, and (because the returning running was between 2B and 3B) allowed an appeal at 2B for leaving 1B too soon.
