The award of 2B to BR on the OBS does not magically remove the obligation to run the bases properly. Coach's INT should still be called and enforced. When multiple violations occur, penalize them in the order in which they occur.
Think of it this way: imagine that BR was obstructed and missed 1B, and we're going to protect him to 2B. Are you going to say, "well, he wouldn't have missed first base except for the OBS, so I'm going to deny the appeal." That would be wrong, and it would be wrong because all runners must still run the bases correctly even if they're obstructed.
I'm with lawump on this one. Good call, btw: the ball remains LIVE after coach's INT.
