I'm curious, is that a T in the NBA? It seems the official sees there's no contact but nails him for just swinging the elbows. Or is an NBA flagrant signaled with a T?
In the NBA, actions like the one above are considered to be taunts...as in, "you better back off, or I'm smacking you with an elbow just like the one I threw." A flagrant foul is indicated by a fist, then pointing to the free throw line extended.
