The typical one is the breakaway and the defender grabbing the players jersey or body from behind (not going for the ball).

I'm just trying to get a full understanding of the circumstances that I would make this call.
The most common one I call is a push in the back when a player is dribbling or going for a layup. That is always an intentional foul because it is dangerous because of the risk of whiplash and neck injuries. Besides that, I've called several of these intentional fouls for when a player has made no attempt to play the ball and ran into a player during a layup, but not enough for flagrant.
