We had this debate before, somewhere. The B player taking the first position is a violation, but is there something special about this violation? Why tell them about it? If
a player is standing on the line do you warn them to get off the line before you give the shooter the ball? When a player dribbles the ball off his foot and runs and picks it up, do you warn him not to dribble again? What's the difference? [/B]

In case Dan is busy off chopping the nuts off another poor,defenseless dog,I'll try to answer the question for him.

Nah. I was in my room, pouting.

The difference is that in the first few cases,time is out and you can forestall some minor,technical violations-but,in the last case,play is going on and you don't really know that there is a violation pending until it's actually committed.
What Dan advises on this play is pretty well standard procedure followed by good,experienced officials.
