They would love to but it's not effective. See how easy it is to jump up on Wayne Selden and get in his face. He'll jet past you in the blink of an eye. With the contact rules it's even harder this year. This only happened because a) Smart was involved and b) Selden was effectively pinned by the sideline allowing no clearance.
They call the elbow foul all the time and everytime people get confused. They don't allow it, period.
