Then forgive me, but I think you're going to run into some problems with your supervisor. Unless you received a different interpretation than I did, the last half of 4-35.1 supercedes 4-35.2.

There are no secondary defenders when the offensive player with the ball is within the lower defensive box when she starts her move to the basket.
This applies to fast-break and halfcourt situations.
