I didn't realize that attempting to kick or punch the ball was a violation. 
Has basketball adopted a prohibition of dangerous play like soccer?

Read harder. I am saying that, because striking at the ball with a closed fist, or kicking at the ball, are inherently dangerous, we make succeeding in either case a violation. The message is that you can't win by doing so - so don't.
