The reality is they can. And if someone runs into them and bounces off, that is not going to get the same reaction from as it would in other situations.

That being said, they should be allowed to play in their space and if they are put at a disadvantage, then something should be called in their favor. But big guys often like to push and grab until they learn how to use their size instead of just get an advantage from illegally. This sounds like the problem with the coach not knowing how to teach his player properly.
