3) swinging elbow and making contact (with the ball in their possession) - player control foul. The player with the ball could make normal legal body movemebnt with the elbows locked and make contact - player control foul.

4) then if a palyer deliberately throws at elbow and makes contact - intentional or flagrant personal foul (with the flagrant - disqualification)

5) if a player intentionally throws an elbow and misses - intentional or flagrant techinical foul (with the flagrant - disqualification). YOU may consider the act fighting.

good point on 5), i didn't list that, but it is always true if you consider an act like that to be intentional there doesn't have to be contact to have an intentional/flagrant foul......use discretion!
