IMvHO, that roll back onto the box isn't helping anyone's explosiveness. Generally, the idea of a box squat is to practice explosiveness out of the hole, not to use the momentum from body rocking to roll off of the box. If these were done with a specific purpose in mind, let me know.
IMO, it's better when done reactively, rolling back slightly on the box with the knees preflexed and then extending immediately as you stomp the feet into the ground. Same idea as a depth jump, but from a seated position. (The sitting box should be a bit higher though.)
If reactive isn't the goal, like it seems to be here though (as she's placing her feet pretty softly), I agree that rolling back doesn't seem to be doing much. Just starting seated and generating power from a static position seems like it would be better.

Pretty good box jump height for a female athlete though. Kudos to her!
