You see guys posting up and displacing the defender all the time. Is this action legal.

No it is not. Contact by an offensive player that displaces a defender that has established position is a foul, pure & simple.
Unfortunately, rough play in the post continues to be a problem. It's something that I try to be proactive about early in the game. At the first sign that post play is starting to get physical, I will usually give a firm "watch the contact" warning. My second warning is more directed "white23, blue 44, knock it off!". Well coached players will usually get the message quickly and adjust their play accordingly. Those that don't, will get a whistle and a foul, or in some cases a double foul if the excessive contact was mutually caused.

Some folks would say rough play continues to be a problem simply because officials hesitate to call fouls.
Why 3 warnings?
