I have to take issue with the generalization of your post, Chuck. It's a technical foul to swing the elbows excessively with out contact. It's also a technical foul to swing the elbows excessively when contact is made. The T is for swinging the elbows, not for making or failing to make contact.

I know it's probably dumb to ask this, but are you sure about that, Tony?

I'm sure about what Tony said.

You're going to call a T when the kid gets hit? I don't think that's the way the rule is interpreted, is it?

I am. It is. The rule, as other have mentioned, says it is a T
even if there is not contact. That is quite different than
only if. The difference that is intended by the if clause is to say that it is a T simple for the swing with or without contact.
