Legal and Illegal use of elbows

[Damian]

I didn't make that call, but I would guess that my partner determined that the action was an unsportsmanlike act instead of a flagrant foul. Similar to taunting during a live ball.

It may have not been the correct interpretation of the rules, but the difference is that the person stayed in the game and the rest of the tournament.

This tournament was 17U with the best teams in the country and about 75-100 college coaches in attendance. Not that this changes the rules, but that is the way it was called.
