In Basketball, a defender is allowed to maintain their position under the basket, but they cannot use their body to push an offensive player backwards. If the defender uses their body to exert force and create space by pushing the offensive player several feet, it would likely be considered a foul for illegal physical contact. Proper defense involves establishing position without excessive physicality.

In general, interference is a deliberate act, with contact, to impede a receiver from catching a pass...or an act by a receiver to prevent defensing a pass (offensive pass interference). It is most often hitting or grabbing the receiver before the pass arrives, or a receiver shoving a defender away.

How do you 'foul' in basketball?
A foul in basketball can range from two different kinds: offensive and defensive fouls, as well as technical fouls. Offensive fouls are fouls when you are on the offensive end, like pushing someone to the side to shoot or pushing slapping someone on the arm to get to the basket. Defensive fouls are the same, but on the defensive end. Technical fouls are called when you do something improper in basketball. For instance, yelling at the referee, throwing the basketball in the stands, and yelling at other players will result in technical fouls. There are offensive and defensive fouls in basketball. A defensive foul occurs when a defender makes contact with the player in possession. An offensive foul occurs when the player with the ball makes contact with a defender who's arms are inside his body. If an offensive player runs into a defensive player whose position is established (both feet are planted) or the offensive player drops his shoulder or pushes off with his arm, then the contact is deemed an offensive foul (foul against the offensive player) and is usually called a "charge." Flagrant fouls occur when one player grabs another and pulls him down, or a player is injured as a result of a hard foul. Technical fouls include defensive three-second penalties and, at the discretion of the official, when a player or coach exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct. By definition a foul is "when one player gains an illegal advantage over another through physical contact". In layman's terms, physical contact between two players is not illegal. However, if that contact creates an advantage (as in a shot was affected or a player could not move freely to another position on the court) then it is deemed a foul.

A neutral zone infraction occurs when a defensive player moves into the neutral zone (the area between the offensive and defensive lines) before the ball is snapped, causing the offensive player to react. This results in a penalty against the defense, giving the offense an advantage by moving the ball closer to the end zone. It can also result in a free play for the offense if the quarterback snaps the ball while the defender is in the neutral zone.
