This is what I thought, also, with the new rule changes that were supposed to remove that judgment call. Is there still a reference to intent somewhere in the rules for men or women?
This makes it sound as if it was a flagrant 1 (vs. 2) because the elbows were not swung excessively. Article 6 discusses illegal contact without the ball, but not illegal contact with the ball. To me, that seems to be the key question.Rule 4-29 Art. 2.c. Flagrant One Personal Foul
6. Illegal contact with an elbow that occurs above the shoulders of an opponent when the elbows are not swung excessively per 4-36.7.a.
In any case, I was so impressed with Tough-as-Nails Peters yesterday. Coming back in and staying aggressive... that's the stuff you dream of as a fan. Great win yesterday, and I'm pumped for the tournament! Winning these last two games with such a short bench is excellent preparation for what's ahead.
