Never want to back pedal, well unless you just drained a 20 ft jumper with two defenders flying at you. It's totally understandable for players, looks & feels good too

But officials should never run backwards!

In transition from old T to new lead (2 person) I use the side step method for a few strides before shifting forward.

This is the only time you should backpedal.

Where's Brandan when you need him? I believe he broke his wrist while backpedaling as well.

No backpedaling was emphasised to me because my first games were in a gym with a carpeted floor. It's easy enough to catch a foot on carpet and go down when running forward. Backpedaling on carpet is almost a guaranteed bad experience.

I watched a soccer player do the same thing while running ladders in the gym (early season workout, still too much snow on the field to go outside). He broke his wrist as well. Come to think of it, I never really liked that kid. So it didn't hurt my feelings any that I took his starting spot because of it.
