I don't know since I wasn't there. Myself i'd be inclined to send that person to the bench with a flagrant. Atleast an intentional should have been called by the sounds of it. Here in Ontario there has been a lot of debate since they changed the swinging of the elbows rule whether or not to call elbows as intentional fouls. Myself, if it's the ball carrier pushing off with an elbow and it's not extreme i like to call the PC. However, I think that there should have been an intentional called here.
And yes rainmaker, a technicial foul cannot be the result of contact during a live ball situatuion,only dead ball contact can be penalized with a T.
