but falling on your back is 1) dangerous 2)painful and could cause seroius injury on your neck =/

fall on yor butt

speaking of bowen, i found a video where he teaches how to play defense. but just don't learn those kicks and pushes from bowen lol jokes :P

wen u take a charge u fall on ur butt, slide backwards and shout or make some noise wen u get hit to draw attention to the foul.

yes, just watch shane battier's taking the charge video, you know it's not dangerous if you do it properly

Well, lateral movement plays a key part on defense. Proper positioning also plays a key, too far and they can just shoot on you and and too close makes it easier for them to drive past you. One thing I do is (since I still haven't done the vert exercises) is too usually place my hand in front of him just to ruin his vision of the court (not sure if that's legal) and sag a bit, knowing that if the player isn't hitting his shots, he would either keep on passing it or would try to create by driving down the lane. Just be prepared to take the contact.

Scottie Pippen used to do that when he was with the Bulls.

just to let you know if you are going that low keep your wits about you. i was playing a guy once who tapped the floor as you got close to him and then went that low. i passed it straight over his head four times before he got taken off.
