This behavior is unacceptable and is not a wait and see what happens.

The best way to avoid "wait and see" moments is to get the right call at the right time and control the game. Which is essentially our job description.
So why can't a PC be called (in my situation...I realize I missed in the OP that he didn't have the ball)? That isn't a wait and see approach, it is getting the call right away and cleaning it up, an elbow in the chest absolutely is not a mandatory intentional (unless you don't have the ball as in the OP).
