This is coachspeak much like "moving screen" is, we hear them asking for something that is not a foul without contact.
Bingo!

Yes the dribbler can lower his shoulder to get around a defender... if he gets that head and shoulders past the defender... then I've either got a no call or a blocking foul if the defender continues to move into the dribbler - because that is not legal guarding position.
