Neither one of us made a call, which was correct. The coach didn't agree and asked me while I was walking up the court "Didn't he kick the ball?" I said, "He sure did" and went about my business.

Wrong answer, IMHO. If he kicked the ball, it should have been a violation. "Kick" is a defined term, and should be used as such.
A better answer would be, "It needs to be intentional for a kick."

Bob is correct. It's only a kick if it's intetntional. Joe, you're play wasn't a kick, so your answer should have been, "No sir, he didn't."
4-29 KICKING THE BALL
