Behind the back move is basically the crossover, except that the ball is pushed behind the back instead of underneath the knees. The same principles apply: you have to step into the direction of the hand you use to handle the ball (right hand goes to the right). You have to stay low. Once the player bites your first step, you quickly move the ball behind the back into your other hand and blast by. It is important not to move east-west, but to go south-north, to cover ground.
