You don't have the complete picture.

Under current NCAA rules, there are cases when a player can block a shot AFTER the ball has contacted the backboard. The rule only prohibits touching the ball after it has struck the backboard, if the ball is completely above the level of the ring and has a chance to enter the basket.

So, for example, if a player swats the ball while part of it is BELOW the level of the ring, then this is legal even if the it has already contacted the backboard.
