Okay, thanks for the replies. On the first situation I mentioned, the act is intentional, but his hand made contact first, then knocked off of his leg. Is that a kickball, because he's trying to stop the pass with either his hand or his leg, it just happened to hit his hand first. Or does that not change anything at all? Thanks a lot.

Rick, the only way that you could rule a kicked ball violation on this play is to judge that a player deliberately kicked the ball after it went off his hand. I don't really know anybody with reflexes that are that good. It's always a judgement call anyway.

Not sure I agree.
He intentionally kicked at the ball and did indeed strike it.
He did not catch the ball, so the pass did not end, the ball is still loose and there's no PC.
The fact that it hit his hand first isn't material IMHO. Let's say he just barely tipped it with the tip of his finger.
I have a kicked ball.
