That's only one tap, but it's a travel. You'll see it every once in a while.

I have never seen a player touch the ball on the backside of a defender. Seems like a fight would result.

A whistle wouldn't result.
The ball touching the defender's backside ended the dribble with a loss of player control, and the really tall player can now legally dribble again.
Good point.
