I think he's OCD or Obsessive at the very least. Some practices or BP's he's fine and now, others, he dives down a well of "I can't stop stepping out" which in turn he steps out... I am too scared so he inevitably just works himself up into a frenzy of fear. My wife and I also believe there's a bit of "show" to it too. Ie. I'm going to fail so let me make sure that everyone sees the reasoning now for my eventual failure. This would include being so skittish after a BP session that an underhanded toss from the coach who's trying to reason with him (again) is met with 'jumpiness' and a show of fear to a semi-ridiculous nature. Therapy.
Anyways, I'm just along for the ride and have tried to create an atmosphere for him and other kids where they can hopefully thrive in. Shrug. In the end, as the coach says it just takes time.
