I'm lucky, I've only had 1-2 actual elbowing fouls in my entire career (of course, now I've jinxed myself, I'll probably have three in the Varsity Tourney game I have tomorrow).

The PC type usually happens when ball-carrier is tightly guarded or trapped by multiple players...often after securing a rebound, with the other team pressing the other way. The ball-carrier is trying to pivot or get clear to pass. He may swing the elbows while pivoting, and nail someone...bang, PC foul.

The intentional/flagarant comes in where there is a clear attempt to elbow that is not at all related to the situation mentioned previously. For me, whether or not the player gets chucked depends, and every situation is likely different. But any player that deliberately swings an elbow and connects above the chest is likely to get the heave-ho from me.

The only flagarant fouls I've had to chuck someone for were two-handers in the back during layups. Nasty stuff.
