I will go back and review the slides, as you suggest. But reading it the way you (and Washington State) are suggesting is not plausible to me.

Sure it is....
Lets try this another way.
Moving the body with the elbows attached is not "elbow" movement....it is body movement and will be a common foul if a foul is warranted at all (even if the point of contact involves the elbow).
Moving the elbows alone or on top of the body movement is elbow movement. Such movement would be at least an intentional foul and, if considered excessive movement, could be a flagrant foul.
