Originally posted by BktBallRef With regards to fighting, I will always call falgrant technicals for fighting. Fighting occurs when the player swings, not when he makes contact. It's fighting whether he makes contact or not...The rule book says it's a T, even if there isn't any contact, not only if their isn't contact.

You are going against Casebook guidance if you call live ball punches (contact) as technicals, see Case 10.4.4 Situation A.
It says to go with the "lesser" penalty of a Personal for live ball fighting; if you find a case or rule that shows a live ball elbow with contact called as a T, then I'll change my mind.
