The official is ready to toss the ball between the jumpers to start the game.

Can non-jumpers not on the center restraining circle (within 3 feet) be moving freely, or do they have to come to a stop before the toss?

My situation: Jumper A1 is 6"5' and jumper B1 is 5'11". B2, not on the center restraining circle anticipated the toss and where the ball would be tapped, guessed right and retrieved A1's tapped ball. Coach A thought B2 had violated becuase he thought everyone must remain motionless until the ball is tapped, but I can find nothing in the rule book to support a violation by B2
