For me I tend divide it into two types,
1. Holding a position on the fop
2. Gaining a position on the fop
If they have their hands up and are stopping the player moving into the space then I am generally okay. However, if they have their hands up and are using it to move into a new area then this is then pushing.
I tend to use the LotG phrase that players are entitled to a position on the field of play. Seems to work when I communicate this to players.
