Oh, but it is.
Rule 4-something
d. The player with the ball may not push the torso of the guard to gain an advantage to pass, shoot or dribble.
It says nothing about what is or is not used to push the guard. Even if you don't agree, I think you'll agree that it is not legal to force an opponent off a legally obtained spot by force.
