Resonance energy pion-nucleon elastic scattering in the [ital S][sub 11] channel is modeled by assuming that the pion plus nucleon couple to two resonances, the resonances couple to inleastic channels, but there is no direct coupling of the pion-nucleon channel to the inelastic channels. The model is solved by matrix [ital N]/[ital D] methods. The coupling of the inelastic channels to the elastic channel is taken directly from data. Using form factors from the constituent quark model, we find the model is able to reproduce the experimentally determined pion-nucleon phases in the [ital S][sub 11] channel over the resonance region and that the resonance part of the amplitude is negligible at low energies.
