I don't know about you, but I don't consider the triceps part of the elbow...

You are reading the rule incorrectly. The rule does not say the contact has to come from the elbow itself:
Rule 10-1-Art. 13
Illegal contact caused by the swinging of the elbow(s) that:
a. Results from total body movement is a common or flagrant 1 personal foul
b. Is excessive per Rule 4-36-7 is a flagrant 2 foul.
c. Occurs above the shoulders of an opponent is a flagrant 1 or flagrant 2 personal foul.
d. Occurs below the shoulders of an opponent is a common, flagrant 1 or flagrant 2 personal foul.
