I would add "sizing up" to excessive. Or, oddly enough, if it's "intentional," it's "flagrant."

What part do you disagree with?
You don't think my state is teaching it this way, or you don't think they should, or you don't think the NFHS put out that direction.

I don't think that's true. Contact by a moving elbow can still be inadvertant. For example, if I jump for a rebound and in returning to the floor, my elbow hits the top of your head, that's not a foul of any kind, even though the elbow is obviously in motion.

They're not concerned with a moving elbow; they're concerned about a swinging elbow (whether it's being swung excessively or not).

Same here.

The rule doesn't say anyting about inadvertant...

2) An elbow in movement but not excessive should be an intentional foul.

I think Scrapper meant incidental.

The contact still must be illegal in order to be a foul. Contact which occurs between two players in equally favorable situations that doesn't put either at a disadvantage for normal offensive or defensive movements should be ruled incidental and not a foul at all. That rule is still in the book.

I have the NFHS illustrated rule book and on pg 133 under rule 9-13 it show a picture of a player with the ball chinned moving the ball with elbows extrended and said if contact occurs it would be either a player-control, intentional or flagrant foul. Seems like the NHFS's stand is that this doesn't have to be an intentional foul.

Just as it was crusting over...
 

Bob did have a nice summary...EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING IS NOT WHAT YOUR STATE OF WASHINGTON IS TEACHING:

Quote from Bob:
(Stationary means just that; it does NOT include "pivoting at the same speed as the hips")

Stationary DOES mean pivoting at the same speed as the hips...if you agree with your State, rockyroad.
