If there is no contact it has to be excessive, not just one swing through to call a violation. If there is contact with the elbow, you have to decide what took place just like any other situation with contact.

The "arc" of the turn has nothing to do with it. It's whether the elbow swings by pivoting from the shoulder (excessive) or by pivoting the torso (not excessive)

Are you going to call a foul if there's no contact? Are you going to call a violation if he nails him in the head?

I have this call (the violation) about once or twice per year. It still confuses some.
I had a JV tournament a few years ago of which my kid was shooting video. One player goes up for the rebound, comes down, and swings his elbows to clear people out. Easy call. Just before I administered the throw in, the horn sounded. The table wanted clarity on who committed the foul. I informed the table is was only a violation, "excessive elbow swinging," and there were several audiable scoffs from the small crowd. "That's called a FOUL, sir!" one yelled. "No, it's not!" my kid fired back from behind the camera. "Learn your rules!"

Really just trying to get him to think it through for himslef, rather than asking someone to tell him the answer. It's a better way to learn and own it.

+1. He's not going to be able to have Q&A on the court during a game.

I know, and I agree with that. We just hadn't had a Jurassic sighting in a while, and that was the closest I've seen.
