Back to the ball

I guess my intentional scenario was ramming into someone whose back was turned to you just for the sake of contact. I witnessed someone call an intentional when someone was "taking a charge" and the dribbler picked up the ball, tucked it under his arm and lowered his shoulder. I believe this actually was probably a flagrant foul following a travel.

So, after establishing LGP, what does this allow a player to do? Verticality, I know about. What else?

Be moving laterrly or obliquely away from the opponent at the time of contact, have one or both feet off the floor, jump, turn away, cushion the impact with their arms, etc.
