To legally set this screen, you have to establish your position, short of contact with your opponent.

You cannot extend any part of your body into his path if he is trying to get around you.

As far as the rule book is concerned, there's no such thing as "boxing out."

When a player is "boxing out" as taught by a coach, he cannot extend any part of his body into the path of his opponent.
