I am not sure whether or not you were saying rotating torso with elbows extended was a T or not, but it sure doesn't look like it from your rules reference. It can be a foul, but to be a T the elbows must swing more than the body -your reference. The reference clearly states that the arms are pivoting on the shoulders and moving faster than the body, not upper body pivoting as one unit from waist (with shoulders, arms, elbows all moving in same plane of rotation). I would agree that the latter case is seen more often and is not "swinging the elbows" but is a foul if illegal contact results from this action.
