I play ball with a few friends a couple of times a week. Recently, we got into an argument about a couple of matters. I am a lot bigger than anyone I play with by a few inches and 40 pounds of muscle. I post up just outside the paint on the right side, between the first and second marks on the side (not an official, don't quite know the language). I get the ball and turn my back to the defender. I begin to back in slowly, using my extra strength to put them below the basket. I spin and shoot, not reall noticing weather they are really in the way or not, but they were securly on my back when I started my move. Or I do what I have seen in many NBA games and use my extra weight to push them back with my rear, or push them off of me with my shoulders. My thought is that I am getting fouled quite a bit, and that this may go toward me, but the group is getting more agressive with their take as I the one fouling. Who is right? And another quick one, if I drive to the hoop and duck my shoulder to get underneath the defenders arm, am I charging?
