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?

Never? NEVER?? Come on now...usually the "arm" basketball (using arms to push and hold) is easier to catch, but I believe all competent officials are going to call fouls on box-outs and post-ups when the player is using hips/butt to shove people around...
