True. but the need for a behind the back is rare. So when you see a kid try to do it multiple times in the same game then you know what its really about
What about a long pole who uses behind the back regularly for his open field passes where the nearest defender is 3 plus yards away from him? Is that hot dogging? or just just solid fundamental lacrosse?
What about the goalie who gets into trouble, cant get his hands free, throws it behind his back to the long pole who then throws a high-to-low skip bounce pass to the middie running up field who then gets double teamed and has no option but to roll the ball between the two defenders legs to the attackman who scores a behind the back around the world goal, but not before doing a triple lindy. I have seen that in person and I beleive that is hotdogging and warrants the opposing team to beat up the attackman in the parking lot after the game for shooting behind his back.
