Elbow scenario

[HokiePaul]

I would have a violation for excessively swinging elbows in both scenarios as this clearly fits the description of the violation.

No way!!!!!!

Why create your own problems. A teammate hit another teammate. Let their coach deal with it. We have other things to worry about out there.

The ONLY thing officials should worry about in a high school game is protecting the safety of the players. If you think that "we have other things to worry about", then you are missing the fundamental aspect of officiating.

I didn't catch this until Nevadaref responded.

At that time, in that moment, you have nothing more important to worry about, IMO. If you want to let her continue to play, that's one thing, but I can't think of anything that could be happening on the court that would be more important for me to control.
