Even if the elbow swinging was excessive, the split-second hold of the whistle would've kept you from taking points off the board while still giving you time to address that situation as soon as the ball went through the hoop.

From a cosmetic point of view, this works.
However, remember that the ball becomes dead when the violation occurs, not when the whistle is blown. If a coach starts questioning you as to that, well - good luck.
