Negative. In both the situations I had, the "kicker" did not enter the NZ but several of the other 10 did almost immediately.
Not all kickers enter the NZ prior to contacting the ball.

Yes, you did talk about the kicker.

By saying it is nothing if none of the other 10 players do it you are saying it is legal if the other player does it. You specifically said that it is nothing as long as none of the other 10 players goes into the neutral zone. If it was illgeal for the potential kicker to enter the neutral zone why did you just not say "It's nothing as long as no one enters the NZ"?

If someone runs towards a ball, tries to kick it, and misses it is almost impossible that some part of his kicking foot would not enter the neutral zone. I find it very hard to believe that you have had a person wiff at the ball and not have his foot enter the neutral zone.
