Sorry to come upon this thread a year late. My att'n was called to it by the software from another thread.

If he is running and kicks it and at the same time they are trying to block the kick, I will not call RTK.

That's interesting. Wouldn't the fact that an opponent making contact was trying to block the kick be evidence that the kick
was anticipated by that opponent? While if the player was just trying to
tackle the runner, that would be evidence that a kick was
not expected?
