As others have noted, you are correct and the official was not. Perhaps the official was confused because reaching through the boundary and touching the ball while the inbounder is still holding the ball is technical and is charged directly to the player. Maybe that official assumed both infractions carried the same penalty.
BTW, kudos to the official in the OJ Mayo tape. He handled it calmly and correctly.
