I neither know nor care what the NBA rule is...I am telling you what the correct interpretation and application of the NCAAW rule is for a defender under the basket...just like in NFHS, we get rules and then interpretations of the rule (called case book plays in HS) which tell us exactly how to call the rule...

And why would directly under the basket cause any more confusion than the use of the word "dribbler"...how can there be gray area - are you under the basket or behind the backboard? Then it's either a no-call or a block...pretty simple.
