Parking yourself under the rim and waiting for contact just seems to be a little...well I think cheap is the best word for it (I was looking for a clear way to make my point and have writer's block).

Sure, it's "better" to be farther out on the court. Any coach would agree. But, it's "better" to be under the rim than to not play defense at all.
