As an interpreter and a historian of the rules, the NFHS Rules Committee is making decisions that show that a majority of the members are lacking in rules knowledge and the history of the rules.

I AGREE 100%. Despite what some have said, it is not basic basketball plays that they want to be intentional. Using the elbows as weapons, carelessly or recklessly flinging them around, is what they want out of the game, not generic contact that happens to involve elbows.
