The fact that a player is allowed to be OOB in certain circumstances doesn't give him license to do whatever he wants while he's OOB.

Rules citation?

I don't think I really need a rules citation for that, do I?

Even if B1 is not OOB, this rule states unconditionally that a player may not swing an elbow. IOW there are (or should be) no other considerations, we merely have to observe the swing of an elbow.

Sorry, you (and also JR in his post above) missed my point. I was addressing only and specifically the fact that JR asked for a rules citation to back up my assertion that the player OOB can't do just anything he wants, simply b/c he's allowed to be in that situation. I don't need a citation to back up that assertion. There are restrictions on such a player, even tho they don't fall under the throw-in rules. That was my only point. He can't do just anything. What we're discussing is whether going around a screen falls under those restrictions or not.

Sorry, but I did get your point.
As I keep saying, A3 has the right to go OOB in your play. It's covered in the rules specifying the throw-in.
Other things, such as elbow throwing and dropping an F bomb on you, are not specifically called out as being allowed in the throw-in provisions so they are covered by the rules concerning these other specific acts.
Example: Some towns have a default speed limit of 25 MPH. However, if the sign on a particular street says 55 MPH I cannot be ticketed for breaking the 25 MPH law. Because I'm authorized to go 55 MPH by that sign. Analogous to your elbow throw, I am NOT authorized to drive drunk so I can be arrested for that.
