9-4 "strike it with fist" is a violation. Is contact with fist a violation?

Two entirely different issues.
Kicking the ball is gaining an advantage by extending your reach, making it easier to defend a pass, or in this case moving and/or stopping the ball so you can grab it.
Striking with the fist is all about the safety issue of fists flying on the court.
