True, though "on" doesn't perpetuate a myth like "over" does.
My son tried to tell me, "it's just slang, Dad." When I pointed out the downfall of this phrase, he asked me what I would call these rebounding fouls.
"Five choices (using a finger for each one): pushing, illegal contact, holding, blocking, or hand checking, whatever applies, though you probably won't see much blocking or hand checking on rebounds. Just pushing and illegal, mostly."
Of course, there could be intentional and flagrant, too. I can't recall ever seeing a double foul on a rebound, though I'm sure it's been done.
