Is this now an automatic block in NCAA men?

At :36 seconds you can see the ball is clearly out of the cylinder.

Not sure about the NCAA block-charge... the interp is tough and I need more input/direction before I fully understand how to call this.

bbcof83: You're right. Thanks. I had to pause it several times to see it, but at the 35-36 second mark, the ball is definitely outside the cylinder. If I had to make this call (just the basket interference, not the block charge) from the trial position in a real game, I would be dead wrong. Probably would be some technical foul activity with the coach after I waved off the basket.
