1) excessive swinging of elbows with or without the ball (using the shoulder region as a pivot point) - violation
2) swinging elbow and making contact (without the ball in their possession) - common personal foul
3) swinging elbow and making contact (with the ball in their possession) - player control foul. The player with the ball could make normal legal body movement with the elbows locked and make contact - player control foul.
4) then if a player deliberately throws an elbow and makes contact - intentional or flagrant personal foul (with the flagrant - disqualification)
5) if a player intentionally throws an elbow and misses - intentional or flagrant techinical foul (with the flagrant - disqualification). YOU may consider the act fighting.
