I have called the same foul when on a rebound one player displaces another. I have also gotten the same response from coaches and players. My reply is "Coach he can box him out, but he can't push him out".
I also know a lot of players are taught to back their opponent out. They are trying to get an,(excuse the phrase)"over the back" call. My wife, the coach, says she will have her players do it until they get called for it.
I have no problem calling it unless it happens too far away from the play to say a player was put at a disadvantage.
