This is another of those misnomers continually perpetuated by horrible announcers. This is a TB at ANY level, in ANY set of rules used south of the Canadian-American border (and I suspect we'll get the same from our Canadian brethren). Announcers screw this one up all the time and it drives me nuts. Even heard one announcer, after it was ruled a TB (may have been Dan Dierdork) go on and on about how the official must have thought the player was going down on his own before he was tackled, and wondering out loud if they should review the play on that basis. Idiot.
