Was the foot still moving when the ball hit it, or had the defender completed his kicking(sticking out) motion?

There's a clarification I need from you, JR.
When this player jumps into the air and his leg "sticks out", undoubtedly it will have to "stick in" again so that s/he may land properly. When the leg is sticking in, and the ball strikes KoB (knee or below), do you view this to be a kick ball?

B1 jumps like a jumping jack to deny the pass. A1 throws the ball after the defender has left the ground. B1's legs are on their way back to closed position, in order to land. Ball strikes leg below the knee. (Note that I did not say 'leg strikes ball'.) I do not rule this a kick. A1, w known whiner flow another planet, stands there while B1 takes the ball to the other end and scores . . .
My gut reaction was that the 'intentiona;' part ended when the legs reached full spread. On the other hand, you can make the case that legs both going out and coming in are part of the kick intention, whatever secondary purpose they may have (defense against the evil forces of gravity).
This is un undecidable proposition . . . good 'un!

Make that undecidable (not to mention 'intentional' and 'whiner FROM another planet). I have distypsia.
