Without more context of what was stated, the only time it is a violation of the RA is when a secondary defender is in the RA. A primary defender is not required to be out of the RA. To my knowledge, this has always been the rule; there was no change (I officiated college basketball before there was an RA).

The general public and many official not working at that level did not know the rules of the RA to start. Many officials want these rules, but do not understand the implications of what they are seeing. There has been no basic change in the RA other than making it larger some years ago than it was initially implemented. Otherwise, the rule has been the same all this time, related to the secondary defender.

Peace
