Someone more knowledgeable in the bball rule book, help me out here:
I noticed last night that Garza uses his elbow on offense in the post pretty frequently, I noticed it about half a dozen times last night. He ducks down, hooks his arm around the defender, then uses his elbow to push the defender back and clear out space before a shot attempt. Is that legal per the rules or is he just getting away with it? Is it something that is normally allowed by the refs?
Seemed like an offensive foul to me, but it wasn't getting called so I wondered if it's one of those things that don't really call much.
