New Elbow Rule

one other possibility:
A1 sets a screen on B1, and sticks his elbows out to the side in the process to make himself wider.
After his elbows are up and in place, B2 comes around from behind and runs smack into A1's elbow with his nose. A1's elbow was stationary, but illegal.

Exactly, and with the new enforcements, as long as the elbow was stationary, we wouldn't do anything different this year than we did last year. Team control foul and go the other way...

I was going to post that. So ... now you can crash into someone else's unmoving elbow and draw a foul. Nice!
