I found the Clinic Slide which I had ran a copy of:
CONTACT ABOVE THE SHOULDERS
__________________________________________________ ____________
a. A player shall not swing his/her arms(s) or elbow(s) even without contacting an opponent.
b. Examples of illegal contact above the shoulders and resulting penalties:
1. Contact with a stationary elbow may be incidental or a common foul.
An elbow is stationary when a player pivots but does not swing the elbows (when the elbow moves with the hip)
2. An elbow in movement (when the elbows move faster than the hip) but not excessive should be an intentional foul.
3. A moving elbow that is excessive can be either an intentional foul or flagrant personal foul.
