Why is a kick any different than B1 deflecting the ball OOB with his/her hand?
B1 is not gaining an advantage, they played good defense or A1 made a poor throw-in pass, but in either case neither A1 nor B1 did anything to keep or lose the right to the arrow.

A kick is different because it is, in itself, illegal. a deflection isn't. See the difference?
|
The results are the same, it's a violation and the other team gets a spot throw-in.
A kick is not so heinous an act to warrant losing the next AP throw-in. It's good defense, period.
|
A kick most certainly is NOT good defense. If it were, we'd award the ball to the defending team.
|
What is the purpose of defense?
To stop or disrupt what the offense is attempting to do.
Does a kick disrupt the throw-in?
Yep, thus it's good defense.
|
Except that was by illegal means. If kicking was good defense it would not be against the rules.
