It appears that the US interpretation of the restricted area is more relative as opposed to the absolute interpretation of FIBA, because the restricted area only applies to secondary defenders in NCAAM, and there are additional conditions in NCAAW and NBA play.
FIBA: Defender in restricted area = no charge, unless offensive player clears out/unnatural body contact
US: Secondary defender in restricted area = no charge unless FIBA conditions (NBA and NCAAW add unless offensive player starts drive in the lower defensive box (area between 3' outside the lane and 2nd lane space)) are met.
