When i stated my previous question about what would you do on a punch and whiff I was merely trying to stimulate the OP to think that if they deemed this a similar situation or if it was just a "aw schucks" kind of kick that wasnt meant at the player but looked that way.

Part of the job is to judge motive and intent -- either way from what you described its either a T or a no call. Flagrant sounds a bit excessive unless the kick was MEANT for the player. If so then I would go flagrant. Push and kick are no way near similar, I would put kick and punch in the same category.
