Technically, and that would be
very technically, you are correct. However, unless someone who has committed a "
cheap shot" against an opponent who has kicked a ball, CLEARLY has done so LONG after the process of kicking has ended, doesn't seem a prudent time to split hairs about which foul was technically delivered.
RTK, the more serious infraction, seems the appropriate choice.
