IOW, how can it be a stationary elbow if the player is pivoting at the hips?

...gotcha...but I gotta tell ya, I don't mind the way our State has interpreted this because I don't mind calling a PC foul when a player PIVOTS WITH THE BALL and contacts the defender. I just don't see the need for an INTENTIONAL FOUL here if indeed it was not INTENTIONAL...understanding that NFHS has "CONTACT ABOVE THE SHOULDERS" a POE.

Oh well...

...thanks again, Billy, for the oportunity to hijack.

btw...I used the "not closely gurarded" signal (albeit RARELY and in regular season games) before it was "LEGAL"...a great communication tool.
