Not sure what you mean by accepted applications. I think the most common scenario in which this type of foul is called is when the defender turns to "box out" the airborne shooter and makes contact before the shooter lands.

Good! That is the play that most bothers me.
I only have access to DII and DIII ball, and it seems like 2-3 times a game I see the *box out* butt under the shooter, who must contort his body [if possible] or get peanut butter. That defensive play seems to be tolerated or ignored, or both. So, I was wondering if it was accepted as a Men's basketball tactic under certain conditions.
The only DI games I see are on TV and the camera is not following the shooter to the floor.
It seems that the knowing that a butt or back is going to be under your jump shot, can put a shooter at a distinct [mental] disadvantage due to an unofficiated illegal act.
Thanks.
