I'm calling this (above) elbow movement, but not excessive.

Doesn't the NFHS want us to go with intentional on such movement?

1. Contact with a stationary elbow may be incidental or a common foul.

Such movement without contact would be legal, and not subject to the excessive swinging elbow violation, but if there's contact, it supposed to be intentional? Am I understating this correctly, because, I think, that it's the way I'm going to call it?
