The rules are the rules, but the reality as I have seen it is that most refs call a kick whenever the ball strikes anywhere below the knee. A leg in motion can and should be considered to have intended to strike the ball (you aren't mind readers). It bugs me to see the kicked ball consistently called when players haven't moved their feet an inch after the pass was released. Perhaps there should be a violation on the offense for throwing the ball at a defenders foot!
