Rocky, read Camron's posts in this thread. Colorado has said the same as camron, stating explicitly they confirmed directly with the NFHS.

Do I have to??

I read through the last few pages of the thread...it is a ridiculous statement to say that a player is pivoting but his elbow is not moving. Dumb, dumb, dumb...

Since you skipped some of this thread...I may be inclined to think you skippped some of the Washington State Rules Clinic on this very topic.

I am not saying I agree with a "pivoting elbow" being stationary(even though I have only called a PC foul on this type of play many times, so why change and make this call an automatic intentional foul?) ...but that is exactly what our on-line rules clinic stated.

...if you would like to bet me a soda or perhaps a car washing...I would be glad to oblige.

I'm not saying it isn't "moving" in the literal definition of the word but that the direction given on what should be called includes a common foul when it is part of a pivot. Reconcile that how you want whether you want to stretch the definition of moving or simply accepting that moving was a poor choice of words. Either way, you an I are calling the same thing.

The rules interpreter here said that a piviot is a moving elbow and to call an intentional foul. Yours said it can be a common foul. The way I see it is that it really doesn't matter which way as along as everyone calls it the same in their own area.
