This has been debated before.
The intent of the rule is making it illegal to gain an advantage by
CONTACTING the ball with your leg.
The rule would be better served if it read intentionally contacting the ball and not intentionally striking the ball.

I know this has been debated before and I don't buy the "intent of the rule" argument. If a player wants to hold the ball between his/her knees I don't see an infraction. I'll discontinue my post on this subject because I'm sure we'll only agree that we disagree.
