Basketball rules clarification (youth)

I am coaching one of my daughters in a 4th/5th grade league.
During the game today, we were inbounding the ball and something happened that I thought was a violation on the other team but I'm not sure. I've tried to Google but I get very generic rules.
Here's what happened:
Our team was inbounding underneath our basket. One of our girls ran toward the girl inbounding in order to get open. When she got close, her defender stepped partially out of bounds to get between her and the girl inbounding. I understand that the player guarding the inbounder may not cross the line, but is it ok for a defender who is playing someone else to do so? (No contact was made)
I'm hoping for a link to some general rules/standards. Thanks.

I don't have a link off the top of my head (sorry), but I know that that's legal given that there's no contact with the player attempting to inbound, like you said

Just keep bouncing it off the defender's ankle so it goes out on them until you can get it inbounds.

This we played a team who always had their back to the inbounder and if after 4 seconds they could not get it in, I taught them to throw the ball as hard as they could at their back, they stopped doing it shortly afterwards.
This was a HS team btw

Whenever we were getting pressed in an inbounding situation and could run the baseline we'd always run a second guy to the baseline to throw it in. It always worked.

Just bounce it off their back and then the offensive player can step inbounds, grab the ball and either make a shot or dribble back to the top of the key to set the offense.
