He was wrong.

And, any coach saying "step off and throw to first" is enough to make an appeal "obvious" in my book. And, I'm likely to say "Time" (if the ball isn't already dead), "What are you trying to do" and when the coach responds rule on the appeal.

Bob, I don't disagree with you! We've been asked by our assignor not to coach a player or coach through the appeal process. The coach was coaching his pitcher as to how to appeal the play. BU informed the coach in between innings that he could have asked him directly for an appeal.
