When I'm officiating, I'm not necessarily trying to distinguish which body parts can and can't be used in certain ways. Butts, arms, legs...most players have all of those parts. (Reminds me of the old fast food commercial "Parts are parts!") The key is - was an offensive player re-directed, slowed down or displaced because of any type of contact (by any body part) by the defender? If yes, then I probably have some sort of illegal contact - push, hand check or block.
Conversley, if I judge the offensive player to be displacing a defender, it's a player or team control foul.
