There's a tweet claiming that Iriafen knocking the inbound out of bounds was illegal:

I'm not sure what rule is supposedly violated. There is this rule:

Reaching through the throw-in boundary-line plane and touching or dislodging the ball while it is in possession of the thrower-in or being passed to a teammate outside the boundary line as in Rule 7-4.6.b. This act shall also serve as a team warning for reaching through the boundary. (See Rule 4-9.1.g.)

...and this rule...

The opponents of thrower-in having any part of their person beyond the vertical inside plane of any boundary line before the ball has crossed that boundary line.

...but it appears Iriafen didn't touch the ball until after the inbounder released it. And I don't think her hand was across the boundary line before touching the ball either, though that's hard to be certain of from this video angle. The tweeter seems certain it was.
