From the POES:

Examples of illegal contact above the shoulders and resulting penalties:
1) contact with a stationary elbow may be incidental or a common foul.
2) An elbow in movement but not excessive should be an intentional foul.
3) A moving elbow that is excessive and be either an intentional foul or a flagrant personal foul.

...I guess that is why Washington "clarified" that a "pivoting elbow" (when the elbow moves with the hip) is considered a "stationary elbow".
Category 1

...an elbow "in movement" is an "elbow moving faster than the hip".(but not excessive)
Category 2

... a "moving elbow that is excessive".
Category 3
