So when the defender is under the basket, after the ball passes through the net. Unless it's different in NCAA ball, then we've got an exception for contact after the ball becomes dead. If NCAA is like FED, then unless it's flagrant or intentional, we'd ignore this any time the ball became dead but there was contact afterward.

You can also have a foul when the ball is dead if the foul is on otr by an airborne shooter. IF the shooter commits the foul, this is a PC foul in FED and NCAA-W, and a common foul in NCAA-M.
This part of the POE is just helping us understand what is meant by "disadvantage" so we know whether to judge the contact to be a foul.
