4-19. A personal foul is a player foul which involves illegal contact with an opponent while the ball is live, which hinders an opponent ...
6-1 a player shall not "use rough tactics"
Don't see anything that says the contact or rough tactics must be body to body. If clearing a path by using the ball as a battering ram was legal contact, I think more than a few coaches would be using it every trip.
