I will go back and look at the bulletins, but I believe that this was address and it was said that all contact was not to be called a FF when it was apart of normal basketball movements. Now this was very close, but I was under the impression at least by interpretation not to make all contact with the elbow a FF.

Normal basketball movement means moving to occupy an empty space, not space already occupied by someone else's head. A2 was responsible to keep his elbows down and legal.
It's akin to the focus on hockey hits in the CHL.
