Ok, since OS agrees with me, I realize I must be wrong on this. My thought had been that the main purpose of the POE was to do away with the Restricted Area mentality altogether. (Insert "Airplane" joke here.)
Here's basically how I was reading it: "As in any other situation, if you deem the contact to be insufficient to have legitimately displaced the defender, then it is still deemed incidental. But if the contact directly beneath the basket would have been called a charge at midcourt, then call it a charge!"
That may be an incorrect reading. I'm more than willing to hear alternatives.
