I wonder if the original post in this thread was not related word-for-word. Is it possible that John Adams said (or meant) "when the ball has passed through the basket" rather than "when the ball has left the players hand" and is it possible that he meant to say that it is a no-call rather than a block?

Here is a quote from last year's NCAA men's POI's:

This year, the charge and block situations occurring at the basket area are
the points of emphasis. Any illegal contact that occurs at the basket area by
either the offensive or defensive player (block, charge, player control fouls)
shall be accordingly penalized as prescribed by the rules. Only when the
following occurs shall the penalty not be applied:

2. When the defensive player has legally established a position under the
basket and contact occurs after the ball passes through the net, unless
the defensive player has been placed at a disadvantage (e.g., inability to
rebound, unable to put ball in play without delay.)
