He gets a lot of fouls from vigorously backing into guys

When he has the ball with his back to the basket, he often repeatedly bangs into the guy guarding him to create space while he tries to back his way closer to the basket. Seems like the refs will often allow one "bang" but Tilmon will do it three times in a row and then they call him. I don't know if he would get away with that in the NBA or not. Part of it is he is strong, so the defender often goes flying backwards making it obvious he is banging them hard, and of course some are probably coached to flop or flail their hands when he backs them down.
