Nothing you stated has anything to do with legality. If there is no contact then you an stand anyway you want. If there is contact then is the defender or offensive player displacing their opponent. If the defender (or offensive player) has to stick their knee in the back of their opponent then the answer is no. Legality with positioning is about contact ultimately and when the contact takes place.
