personal foul?
flagrant personal foul?

How does one pivot their elbows? And then avoid a defender by hitting him on the chin?


Using Nevada's bullets, I come to these examples:

1. Incidental contact - When A1 pivots to throw a pass or to shoot and B1's chin happens to be in the way with no displacement.

2. personal foul/team control foul/player control foul (depending upon who has the ball) When A1 pivots to throw a pass or to shoot and B1 has LGP and is displaced...same as if he hit him in the chest, chin, shoulder, whatever.

3. intentional personal foul Same as 2 above..only with visible intent and or excessive contact.

4. flagrant personal foul Same as #3 except added violent intentions and byebye
