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.

Very nice summary, Bob...it is now part of my pregame. Thanks!

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.
