Elbow violation

[Adam]

Had an easy one yesterday morning in a middle school game. A1 dribbles across half court into a trap by B1 and B2. Picks up his dribble, and they close in like sharks smelling blood. He gets frustrated and starts swingin his elbows.
Tweet! I call the violation before one of those flying elbows lands in a restricted zone or something. We're heading the other way, and coach A wants to know what the call is (as if I hadn't announced it.) Told him, and he looks at me and say, "How's he supposed to protect the ball, then?"
While I thought about saying, "by not dribbling into a trap," I just said "not by swinging his elbows."
