An actual rules question, for a change

Even if B1 is not OOB, this rule states unconditionally that a player may not swing an elbow. IOW there are (or should be) no other considerations, we merely have to observe the swing of an elbow.

Sorry, you (and also JR in his post above) missed my point. I was addressing only and specifically the fact that JR asked for a rules citation to back up my assertion that the player OOB can't do just anything he wants, simply b/c he's allowed to be in that situation. I don't need a citation to back up that assertion. There are restrictions on such a player, even tho they don't fall under the throw-in rules. That was my only point. He can't do just anything. What we're discussing is whether going around a screen falls under those restrictions or not.
