Just a guess! But that is what I would do...until someone on the board corrects me!

I agree with your ruling. But, I don't think that was the intent of the question with respect to the explanation.
It would probably be coach A complaining that their was no T. In that case, I would tell coach A that the intent of the rule that warrants a T is to prevent B from trying to intercept/block that pass. B has the right to get back inbounds from the previous play and is even required to get directly inbounds or be at risk for a T. For that matter, you would have to call the violation (warning) on B for even being across te line during the throwin.
As you concluded, a simple violation on B for toucing the ball while OOB.
