Well unlike your friend, the rules do cover this under 10-6-1.
Rule says, "A player shall not hold, push, charge, trip or impede the progress of an opponent by
extending arm(s),
shoulder(s), hip(s) or knee(s) or by bending his or her body into other than a normal position, nor use any rough tactics."
Not sure what I said was not supported by rule. I would think "throwing a shoulder" is the exact same thing as extending a shoulder to create space or to go through an opponent.
And it does not say that this is special to an player without the ball. I also just used a description, not trying to suggest like someone else that my words were word perfect in the rulebook.
Peace
