I'd call it incredibly dumb - or very inexperienced. (What age group?) One, she can not stride out to meet the throw. Two, she is exposing herself to serious injury.
I'd find time to talk with the coach between innings and warn him/her that (a) she is probably going to get an obstruction call against her soon, and (b) the player is at risk for injury.
On a close play at 1B I would find it very easy to determine that the runner slowed down slightly to avoid the foot and that caused her to be out. Then - Obstruction, wipe out the out, and award her the base. If the coach screams, advise her/him to fix the problem and it won't happen again.
