2. INTENTIONAL FOUL if the contact is a result from non-excessive swinging of the elbows which is defined as action of arms and elbows resulting from total body movement as in PIVOTING or movement of the ball incidental to feinting with it, releasing it, or moving it to prevent a held ball or loss of control.

Right. IT's an NCAA rules change, even though this isn't a rules change year and new books aren't being produced. Guidelines are on the NCAA portal on arbiter. The guidleines include "suggested" rules language, but the actual rule produced next year might differ.
