It is my number one issue with NFHS. Never made it to rule book. The POE says contact with elbow "in movement" above shoulders is an intentional foul...at very least. If it is "excessive" it is Flagrant and player tossed. Any elbow moving and contact made-intentional at least...
If you want me to call it that way I need to see it in a rule so someone else can see why I did so....😞
