Going to go with what my State Association told me today.

My example: If player chins the ball and pivots and the elbows are not moving faster than the shoulders or torso, and contact happens above the shoulders.

Interpretation: Looking at rule 9-13.....a moving elbow would be faster than the body so the elbow you described would not be defined as excessive.....contact with this elbow is not automatically a foul.

So...by that interp, chin and pivot with elbows not faster than body = elbows not moving = PC or incidental.

Elbows moving faster than body = intentional or flagrant
