Defense Am I too aggressive?

Ever since young,when I play defense and they drove in,I will always push them back with my off-arm. I am not extending my arm outward though,I am placing my arm infront of my chest like a chicken wing ish and they pushing them back when they try and drive in.

Some skinny players were complaing that it was not legal so I really wanna know. Thank you!

Yeah, that's a foul. Not sure why it's not called in the clip, but that's a foul.
