The contact occurred outside the R.A. B2 started inside the restricted area and then stepped forward to get out of it. My opinion was that he was still moving forward when the contact occurred.

I personally think the "it's coming at me" philosophy is on it's way out. The person that the play is "coming to" doesn't always have the best look.
I don't know if it's on its way out, but it's definitely true that having the play come to you does not guarantee a good look. It's still possible to get straight-lined if the ballhandler is coming straight at the defender. Personally, I hate it when I'm in that situation in a 2-man game.
