Many coaches at lower levels don't know what 'block out' means and so are confused when you tell them that their players may block out but may not push an opponent out of position.

Good point, and I would only say that if the coach uses the term. My point is that "block out" does not mean "push."

Typically, I just say "he can't move him."

Or you could say, "Having inside position is not a license to push."
