Hows about 9.13.3 as below

9.13 ART. 3 . . . Action of arm(s) and elbow(s) resulting from total body movements as in pivoting or movement of the ball incidental to feinting with it, releasing it, or moving it to prevent a held ball or loss of control shall not be considered excessive

I have used this as a rule cite when officials want to call something crazy. I can accept a PC call on occasion but in most cases a properly schooled player who is pivotting with full body movement engenders nothing more than incidental contact against a swarming defender. There must be a reason this action is specifically condoned...

Whaddyall think???
