lol, it seems I was having this exact discussion with someone else recently. Actually, I believe the back EMF pulses will be an odd-shaped square wave with a larger pulse on the front end and taper down. You have to remember we are not feeding sine waves to the motor. When using sine waves, the field does not collapse as hard since you aren't totally removing voltage at once. You're probably thinking of variable frequency drives?
