Had a couple of situations this past weekend.
Player A1 if facing defender and swings ball followed elbow at head of defender and hits him with elbow. Partner calls an immediate T. I had to think about it but agreed with his call.
Backcourt. Two defenders both in player with ball. They are very agressive, but do not reach or initiate contact. After sevearl seconds of this, offensive player gets frustrated and starts swinging elbows to gain some room. I call exessive swinging and award ball to defense. Got a lot of help from the fans who were yelling to get the defense off of the player.
I understand the T for coming down with rebound swinging and hitting opponents head. A head shot is a head shot.

Please explain to me how you can charge A1 with a technical foul for a live ball contact foul. By definitiona (NFHS and NCAA) a live ball contact foul is a personal foul. A personal foul is either a common foul, a foul committed against a player in the act of shooting, intentional, or flagrant.
In your play you had a personal foul. The decision your partnera had to make was: Was A1 fouls a common foul (player control foul), intentional foul, or a flagrant foul.
