So the answer to your question is that, in theory, a player can take a charge under the basket. In practice, however, many officials won't call it.
Many officials? Is that one of them IAABO thingys?

Why wouldn't anyone -except someone doing NCAA wimmen- call a charge under the basket if the defender had LGP and an airborne shooter knocked him into the third row?

There's degrees of contact. I don't think that you can make up a blanket rule to cover all of those different degrees. Jmo.
