Thank you, that clears it up from a rules stand point for me, but leads me to another question.
I have been coaching basketball for 12 years, watching for 30. I can't remember anyone ever being called for a foul for moving a guy backwards on a box out, assuming they are only using their back side, not their arms and elbows. Nor have I ever seen a post up foul called on a player who is not using his arms, but instead geting his butt into the D's legs for leverage and then backing them up.
In addition, I have never seen someone called for pinning someone on a pick and roll.
So, is this one of those things that is illegal, but in general not enforced?
