Abstract
Let B be a p-block of the finite group G. We observe that the p-fusion of G constrains the module structure of B: Any basis of B that is closed under the left and right multiplications of a chosen Sylow p-subgroup S of G must in fact form a semicharacteristic biset for the fusion system on S induced by G. The parameterization of such semicharacteristic bisets can then be applied to relate the module structure and defect theory of B.
