There are plenty of pivots that are wide- There are plenty of pivots that extend into other players

Kelvin, if you go back and read some of my posts, you'll see that is exactly what I have been saying all along. The only difference is the terminology.
I said that during a non-excessive elbow swing:
1) If the elbow extends outside the offensive space, then the player with the ball has
not made a legal pivot if contact occurs. PC foul.
2) If the defender is inside the offensive space, the player with the ball has made a legal pivot if contact occurs. Defensive foul or no call for incidental contact---> judgment call.
That is basically what you just stated above. It is also basically the response that I received back after asking the same question of several NCAA officials.
I can't see where we disagree.
