In the process of explaining this to an irate coach this is an issue of LGP, right?

Use "verticality". The same concepts apply in both FED and NCAA rules. A player with the ball can't clear out or cause illegal contact within the defender's vertical plane.

NFHS rule 4-44-5 and NCAA rule 4-74-1(e)

"He clocked him with his elbow."

I guess I don't feel the need to explain more than that.

This play was correctly called as an offensive foul.

I agree that we have to think about upgrading this to flagrant. I don't know FIBA rules, but this is a great opportunity to go to the monitor if that is available to the crew.
