Fast-roll tournament ruling?

I don't think you can say that B (offending player) has ended his turn. If I understand the situation, B picked up his dice before A (whose turn it is) picked up his own dice. So B's turn hasn't even started yet!

B has made two infractions: (1) he rolled before it was his turn, and (2) he interfered with the dice after they left his cup.

The solution for infraction #1 is that the fast-rolled dice must stand. I don't know what the solution to infraction #2 is, but it seems to me it should be severe; you don't want players grabbing dice that may or may not have settled on the board.

My ruling might be that A gets to finish his turn and then A gets to call B's next roll. This is a very harsh penalty, and I don't normally favor harsh penalties, but I don't know what else would be fair to A in this situation and similar future situations.
