In my mind's eye...I see B1 encroaching on A1's cylinder of verticality....although with the body positions I described earlier, the space above either player sure ain't a cylinder!

B1 can't step in / reach in, belly-to-belly, trying to tip the ball without some part of his body taking up space above A1. It might just be A1's foot/ knee / leg, but I still see B1 inside A1's airspace.

I understand the point about flagrant elbows...but I guess I am going to continue to tell players to pivot and 'rip' the ball with strength from high / forward to low / backward, and repeat as needed.

Lead with the ball / hand / forearm...not elbow.
