Great video to interpret contact above the shoulders.<br /> <br /> As a high school only official, I will interpret this under current NFHS rules and a relevant, but old, Point of Emphasis, that as a veteran official I'm am well aware of and can't ignore, or pretend to ignore, because, as far as I know, it's still valid, has never been ruled invalid, null, or void, and there have been no relevant rule changes, or interpretation changes to invalidate such.<br /> <br /> Contact above shoulders? Yes. Elbow to chin.<br /> <br /> Excessively swinging elbows? Yes, elbows were swinging with no feet pivoting, as well as elbows swinging faster than the hips were rotating.<br /> <br /> Type of foul? A moving elbow that is excessive that results in contact above shoulders can be either an intentional foul or flagrant personal foul.<br /> <br /> My interpretation: Intentional excessive contact foul. Close, but not quite violent enough to be a flagrant foul.<br /> <br /> <i>4-19-3: An intentional foul is a personal or technical foul that may or may not be premeditated and is not based solely on the severity of the act. Intentional fouls include, but are not limited to: Excessive contact with an opponent while the ball is live<br /> <br /> 4-19-4: A flagrant foul may be a personal or technical foul of a violent nature involves, but is not limited to violent contact such as: striking, kicking and kneeing.<br /> <br /> 2012-13 Points Of Emphasis Contact Above The Shoulders<br /> With a continued emphasis on reducing concussions and decreasing excessive contact situations the committee determined that more guidance is needed for penalizing contact above the shoulders. A player shall not swing his/her arm(s) or elbow(s) even without contacting an opponent. Excessive swinging of the elbows occurs when arms and elbows are swung about while using the shoulders as pivots, and the speed of the extended arms and elbows is in excess of the rest of the body as it rotates on the hips or on the pivot foot.<br /> Examples of illegal contact above the shoulders and resulting penalties.<br /> 1. Contact with a stationary elbow may be incidental or a common foul.<br /> 2. An elbow in movement but not excessive should be an intentional foul.<br /> 3. A moving elbow that is excessive can be either an intentional foul or flagrant personal foul.<br /> </i><br /> <br /> How will an inexperienced official interpret this with no current rulebook containing the 2012-13 Contact Above The Shoulders Points Of Emphasis? <br /> <br /> Hopefully, he would have had a great trainer who covered this situation during the training classes.<br /> <br /> Failing that, the inexperienced official would have to make his interpretation solely based on 4-129-3 and 4-19-4.<br /> <br /> Stupid NFHS. </div> <!-- / message --> <!-- sig --> <div> __________________<br /> <font color="DimGray"><font size="1">"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
