Under NFHS and NCAA rules this could be an offensive foul. But sometimes it's really just the defender giving way slowly and not being displaced by the offense.

Great point. In our high school games, if the defender would just stop, and hold his spot, then any displacement of the defensive player would be a foul on the offensive player.
