    I can kind of explain that but I can't stand it...lol. We run anti back down drills for it. When a stronger player does the back dribble, the weaker player feels the pressure and steps back and then he feels the pressure again and steps back. You have to grip the floor with your toes and hold your ground. Then it will be an offensive foul if they push over you. The thing to be ready for is if you get too straight up is the spin move. This is what made Rodman so darn good was that he had the strength and smarts to get wide and dig in, he was strong. He rarely got beat on the spin move.
