So B should be trying hard to kick it, instead of trying to avoid the violation. Seems kinda backwards...

What's the purpose of avoidng the violation?
If the defender can deflect the pass, by any means, it's good defense.

RIght, that's my point. Normally, violations should be avoided, since they bring a penalty, but in this case, there's no penalty, it's good strategy. Why is that reasonable?

Unless there's a shot clock there's no penalty for kicking at any point, unless you count stopping the clock as a penalty. No?
