ART.1 does not say anything about the player having the the ball so this theoretically could happen with a player just trying to create space, I would think it would involve contact on a rebound but I guess some numbskull could just start swinging elbows to create space.
SECTION 13 EXCESSIVE SWINGING OF ARM(S)/ELBOW(S)
ART. 1 . . . A player shall not excessively swing his/her arms(s) or elbow(s), even without contacting an opponent.
The ball does not become dead if the try has been released so even if A4 fouls B4 with ths shot in the air it counts and then we shoot at the other end.
So if the violation occurs while the try is in the air, the ball is not dead until the try is over.
PENALTY
Section 13) The ball is dead when the violation occurs and is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation. (See 6-7-9 Exception d)
SECTION 7 DEAD BALL
The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when:
ART. 9 . . . A violation, as in 9-2 through 13, occurs (see exception d below).
EXCEPTION: The ball does not become dead until the try or tap ends, or until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, when:
d. Article 9 as in 9-3-2 or 9-13-1, occurs by an opponent.
NOTE: If A1'stry or tap is legally touched in flight, the goal counts if made, if the horn sounds before or after the legal touching. If the touching is interference or goaltending by A, no points are scored. If B violates, the points are awarded – either two or three depending on whether it was a two or three-point try or tap.
