While in FIBA rules you can take a charge when standing directly under the basket, I have been told by several rules intrepeters that this should very rarely be called. The thinking is that if the player has released the ball, and the defender is standing right under the bucket, then there isn't any advantage/disadvantage, therefore no call. To be honest, I'm still unable to make up my mind whether I agree with this interpretation or not.....
