This depends on what the coach wants her to do in that situation.
If it is a younger ages (10U) I say get the out at 1st and allow the 1st baseman to take control and after they get the put out in an attempt to keep the runner on 2nd. So in 10U I would have agreed wit this coach. That said, I would've still taught my middle infield to be covering 2nd in case a play evolves.
If it is 12U (higher level of play) and up I would say everyone needs to be prepared for 3rd to make that play because it is one of her options when she fields the ball.
Just depends on different factors....not always black and white.
