This sounds like the old high-center trick, where you wedge your leg under the big man's butt so he loses his leverage and can't back you down. I used to teach this when I coached middle school. It is effective in holding your ground, especially when you are outsized. While technically illegal, so is an offensive guy muscling down a smaller guy when the smaller guy has position, so as long as the smaller guy is only using this to hold ground I'm guessing most here wouldn't call it. As soon as the little guy starts displacing the big guy, then yeah.
The OP sounds like a big guy whining because the little guy won't let him push him around. As long as he's not shoving you around big man, play ball.
