no contact you have a violation, not a foul...be careful with this though that it is the elbows that are swinging on their own and it is not just the result of a player rotating their whole upper body or pivoting...

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.

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!

... 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?

that is item 3). If he/she is moving like you say, then if there are any defenders around themm and contact occurs, you have to determine who intitated the contact. If the player with the ball, you have a player control foul. If the defenders did then, you have a common personal foul. You could have slight contact and no advantage/disadvantage taken, you have nothing.

correct, point being there is no foul for the act of swinging the elbow in this case, the foul is for the contact....would be the same thing if elbows were down and they ran the defender over making contact w/ the chest....

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.

Peace

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.

As Jeff said, this is a violation by rule. Violations and fouls are not the same thing. Violations consist of things like traveling, illegal dribble, causing ball to go OOB, etc. The ball is given to opponent for inbound at the spot closest to where violation occurred.
