I am not certain from your description if the player is simply pivoting his body and contact occurs or if he is pivoting and swinging his elbows excessively??

As per original post CONTACT occurs. Maybe I'm reading too much in it but if a player is swinging his elbows and contact occurs I have a foul. Excessive swinging no one hit but players close (within a few feet) no contact I have a violation. Clean it up early so no problems latter.
