The back middle player usually play defense by covering the front row position. When the front middle player is up for a hit, or a block, it is the back middles job to cover the space behind that player in case the ball was to be tipped behind the front middle. Also, if the ball is spiked, the back middle's job is to receive the ball and pass it up to the setter.
In competitive volleyball, back middles usually play defense only on one rotation, after their team has served. After losing the rally, a libero usually comes in and replaces the back middle.
