Is it fist in the air, hand behind the head or punch and then point in the opposite direction?

Hope your season's going well

1. "Shot on goal"? Sounds like soccer or hockey.
2. Your post title concerns the "swinging the elbows" violation, not any kind of foul. The violation is to be called only where you do not have contact.

If that's what you're asking about, then you want to whistle, extend an open hand to stop the clock, and point to the out of bounds spot. There is no distinct signal for excessive swinging of elbows.

Do not signal a foul for this (or any other) violation.
