This is the first time for me to talk on this site: . Please educate me on the process as I do not know how this works. I hope someone sees this answer. Anyway, the Rules book calls this a Violation if the elbow swinging is "excessive". If the swinging involves contact, then we have a "foul". Please contact me at [email protected]

why contact you via email -- this is a forum to discuss issues

THIS IS SIMPLE

NO CONTACT = VIOLATION (LIKE TRAVEL, OOB, 3 SECONDS, DOUBLE DRIBBLE ETC.)

IF CONTACT = COMMON FOUL, INTENTIONAL FOUL, FLAGRANT FOUL, TEAM CONTROL FOUL ETC.

THIS ALL COVERS THE TERM EXCESSIVE -- On a normal pivot with the offensive player chinning the ball and protecting it -- elbow to defnse contact will either be PC, Defensive foul or No call. Up to your judgement
