I come at it somewhat from a different perspective as I'm the guy playing center(in church ball, mostly pickup). Sometimes, the person guarding me feels the need to employ 'special' tactics to guard me. Because I'm taller than him. And that's just not fair. Most of these tactics involve taking my legs out from under me when I post up. Or, if the guy guarding me has a little bulk to him and I am calling for the ball in front of him, he sometimes shoves me. hard. And repeatedly. I can put up with this for a while but this is a crappy way to play ball. I can understand denying position but this shoving with all your might every time is just crap.
Everybody has their little strategies. One guy who was guarding me would start boxing me out in the middle of my jump shot(in the act of releasing the ball). Now THAT was annoying.
