And if you move B1 away and Team B's coach says "he's allowed to stand there," then what? He may have had "no reason" being that close but there's nothing in the rule book saying he wasn't allowed to be there so in an effort to stop one problem another may have been created.
B1 can *try* to create trouble but in that situation the only way he *can* create trouble is by disconcerting and/or saying something to the shooter. If that happens, award a substitute FT. Guaranteed that B1's coach won't let him do it again if it costs the team points.
