The ball becomes live when:
b. On a throw-in, it is at the disposal of the thrower.
When "B1 catches the ball as it bounces in the lane," the ball is live. He doesn't have to step OOB for the ball to become live. When it's at his disposal, hence, when it's available for him to pickup or retrieve, it's no longer dead.
BTW Don, I don't disagree with you about blowing the whistle. In Jr. High, middle school or lower levels of play I would blow and have them inbound the ball properly. But at the high school level, I would issue the warning. They know better. Besides that, I've never seen it happen at JV or varsity levels.
