No Contact: Violation ...

4-24-8: It is not legal to swing arms and elbows excessively. This occurs
when:
a. Arms and elbows are swung about while using the shoulders as pivots, and
the speed of the extended arms and elbows is in excess of the rest of the
body as it rotates on the hips or on the pivot foot.
b. The aggressiveness with which the arms and elbows are swung could
cause injury to another player if contacted.
Using this description as a basis, an official will promptly and unhesitatingly
rule such action with arms and elbows a violation.

9.13.1 SITUATION: The ball has been released on a field-goal try or tap by A1
towards A's basket: (a) A2, or (b) B1, excessively swings arm(s) or elbow(s)
without contacting an opponent. The ball goes through the basket. RULING: In
(a), the official will sound the whistle immediately for a violation. The ball is dead,
the goal is not scored. In (b), the ball is dead when the try ends. The goal is
scored and Team A is awarded a throw-in at the spot closest to the violation. (6-
7-9 Exception d)
