Also, in the play in question, LGP may not even be an issue. The defender may have turned to face the basket, anticipating a shot, positioning himself for the rebound. Instead the offensive player has made a move to the basket. Even though the defender may now have his back to the dribbler, he is still entitled to his spot on the floor. Now this defender looks over his shoulder to see his opponent flying in his direction going for the dunk. Defender instinctively steps forward, away from the contact. Shooter lands on top of him. No basket. PC foul.
Leaning backwards is not LGP???? there is nothing about not leaning back in establishing LGP or standing 100% vertical with feet flat..

If the player has established LGP and leans back, the player still may get a charge, player is fding back to not take it and the airborne shooter still puts a knee in the chest its a charge...
