Boxing out does and should upset the positioning of the player without being a foul.

"Upsetting the positioning of the opponent" is the definition of the word "foul". Every player is entitled to any spot on the floor as long as he or she gets there legally first. Once that person you are boxing out has position, you can't legally move him. When boxing out is legal, it means a team working together to keep the opponents from legally reaching certain spots in the first place. When a coach hollers "Box out!!" and he means "push them out of the way", he's telling you to do something illegal. Period.
