Elbow contact above the shoulders.

I had a play like the OP on Saturday night. Kid rebounds, swings the ball from one side to the other but catches the defender in the chin so I whistle an intentional foul. Neither coach had an issue with it...I think it has been explained pretty well in our part of Montana. If an elbow hits a defender above the shoulders it is at a minimum an intentional.

Part of the problem this is really not a rules change, it is a POE interpretation. And when they tend to make interpretation positions without changing the actual rule, these issues keep coming up. At least that is the way I see it.

Bingo. There was no change in the wording in the definition of intentional foul in Rule 4.
