Thoughts?
The way it has been interpreted to me in the NFHS rule set is elbow contact above shoulders=intentional foul. Only other option is flagrant, if it's warranted. I've seen the play on video that the reporter in that post was talking about. I believe by rule it had to be judged intentional, and was.
