Snaqwells,
My guys do it all the time. They are taught to get their backside into the knee of the opponent, straighten his leg, and drive him backwards.
In a game, a good box out from one of my guys will gain 3 to 6 inches of space under the hoop. So we are displacing.
The only time my guys get called for a pushing foul is when they get their arms too far back, or use their forearm.
Speaking from the coaching community here, I don't know of a single coach that wants his player to box out by simply positiioning helmself between the opponent and the hoop with only minor contact or none at all. I would love to play against that team, our off. reb would be our main play.
