The punch is used for both in womens NCAA and the NBA. There is a player control in women's NCAA. In the NBA it is just called a charge, there is no "player control" in the rule book. Both use the punch and it is a better mechanic. Many men's officials no longer use the head behind the head but use a modified fist with their finger out pointing the other way. In the SEC they are allowed to use the punch.
Personally I like the punch a lot better.
