Re: You fella are making to much of this.
9.1 shows a Case where a clear opportunity to violate a rule is whistled dead; the situations are VERY similar.
Regardless, if the ball hits his foot, then the "pass" did not go directly into the court, it was bounced OOB (the player's foot is OOB); that is a violation.
If you are saying the pass originated at his foot, then that doesn't work either, intentional play off a foot is a kick.
