For example, how far away can the rebounder come from? I don't believe that the NCAA provides a distance, but it needs be near the RA.
You can't have a long rebound to the top of the key, then a drive down the lane and a crash in the RA be a PC.

Sorry to disappoint you, but yes it can be. Please see AR 100. Player A1 attempts a shot which bounces off the rim and is rebounded by A2.

Player A2, who is located on the wing just inside the three point line gains possession of a long rebound and immediately drives to the basket with no defender. Player A2 crashes into the torso of B2 who is located within the RA.

Ruling: When B2 has established and maintained lgp, and illegal contact occurs it is a pc/charging foul on A2

As you can see, distance from the basket has no bearing on this exception.
