She just stood there with ball in hands and teammate took it. NOTE: It was a set play. Please advise.

Kinda. Maybe. Sorta. This is a case book play where both players are moving
one foot after a rebound they have joint control of. As long as neither moved the pivot foot then it's not a travel. So if A2, while holding onto the ball picked up her pivot foot and dropped it back down, then yes it was a travel.
Edit: I want to say the coach is wrong. "since A2 was moving" is not a reason to call a travel
