B6 might as well be the table himself, makes no difference.
This might not be as simple as that. There are hairs to split.

If the ball hits the OOB person (who may be positioned there like a table), that's one thing. But if the person OOB makes a move to hit or grab the ball -- especially if it's deemed as potentially recoverable by a player on the court, as stated in the OP -- that's something different.

If you hold otherwise, what would you do about the player/coach who grabs a ball bouncing chest-high across a sideline, just as a game player is about to grab it? That ball still has inbounds status.

Intent has to play a part here.
