The rule is 4-24-8 in NF. "It is not legal to swing arms and elbows excessively. This occurs when:
a. Arms and elbows are swung about while using the shoulders as pivots, and the speed of the extended arms and elbows is in excess of the rest of the body as it rotates on the hips or on the pivot foot.
b. The aggressiveness with which the arms and elbows are swung could cause injury to another player if contacted.
Using this description as a basis, an official will promptly and unhesitatingly call such action with arms and elbows a technical foul."
This one seems pretty clear to me. If such action could cause injury, it's a T. I believe there's a high probability of injury in these circumstances, and I'm taking a zero tolerance approach. It's a T.

If the player was rotating his torso with the elows extended, that's not a T (

Are you talking NF or NCAA? Becuse in NF it is a T.
