what are all of the possible violations or penalties that could be called for swinging an elbow? with contact and without.

with contact you could have anything from a common personal foul, player control foul, or if you view it as extremely vicious/intentional you could have all the way up to a flagrant foul with the player being tossed....never seen the last one happen, but it is always a possibility... |
1) excessive swinging of elbows with or without the ball (using the shoulder region as a pivot point) - violation
2) swinging elbow and making contact (without the ball in their possession) - common personal foul 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 movement with the elbows locked and make contact - player control foul. 4) then if a player deliberately throws an 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. |

... and the technical fouls.
Oops, I see the technical fouls noted in 5) above. Please disregard the text, but also note it is a perfect post (in bowling terms). :) |
What if the rebounder has the ball in the power position -hands on each side of the ball with elbows out - and rotates his shoulders and torso and makes contact? Automatically a foul or is it nothing if deemed part of his natural movement and unintentional?

Regarding #1 - how is that a violation - maybe I do not understand the term "violation" vs a common personal foul - If the player has possession - would you just give the ball to the other team w/o a foul called or if does not have possession what do you do? |
It is a violation because the rules say it is. This used to be a Technical foul until the rules committee decided that making it a violation might increase the incidents of this being called. It is most common when a player has the ball, but if they do not have the ball, you give the ball to the offended team.

o.k. forgive my ignorance - so.. if a player has the ball and swings elbows as described in #1 - no foul called and ball goes to other team?

A violation is like throwing the ball oob. Ball goes to the other team.
A1 has ball and is swinging elbows. Tweet!. B's ball for throwing at nearest spot to violation. |
