Apparently even States have different ideas of the way certain rules should be interpreted.
I didn't post because Bob wrote my response for me.

So the wording is poor if the writers wanted the pivoting contact to fall within category 1 and not category 2.

From the POES:

Examples of illegal contact above the shoulders and resulting penalties:
1) contact with a stationary elbow may be incidental or a common foul.
2) An elbow in movement but not excessive should be an intentional foul.
3) A moving elbow that is excessive and be either an intentional foul or a flagrant personal foul.
