Originally posted by Camron Rust When there is excessive swinging that creates contact, a violation is still an option: the swinging of the elbows can make the ball dead prior to the contact.
You could also have a T for an attempt to strike another player...it's the attempt that gets the T, not the contact.
I'm not good enough to split those hairs. For me, contact = personal.
