In your original post you said the foul was a "personal technical foul", now you say it was an "intentional technical foul".
Actually, there is no such thing as an "intentional technical foul". Yes - I know the NF rulebook says a technical foul "may be intentional" but that does not mean there is an actual structured foul of that sort. It just means that you can have a technical foul whether or not the action was intentional.
A technical foul may also be flagrant, however, which carries an automatic ejection.
I agree with you that swinging an elbow is not always the same as excessive swinging of elbows (after a rebound, for instance). It seems like you ruled that a technical by itself was sufficient punishment without an ejection.
From your description of the act, I would agree.
