Anyone ever called this?

One situation ignores the violation.

Free throw violations are simply different than standard violations, by rule. As I said previously, I have no problem penalizing the elbow violation by rule in this case. It's a safety issue and should be dealt with.

As far as the leaving the court, no problem with that either. For me to call it, it needs to be deliberate, obvious, and completely out of bounds. Call it and it'll only happen once.

That said, there are situations where I'd ignore it.

From a safety standpoint, I'm OK with the swinging elbows violation by the defense still allowing the score, and the offense gains another possession although I think I've got a chance to see my first multiple foul before I ever see that scenario.

I'm w/JK on the leaving the floor penalty. Bad rule.
