Aren't these mutual exclusive actions? How can you accidentally hit something on purpose?
I believe most of us understand the difference between "the leg hitting the ball", and "the ball hitting the leg". Iow, the word "strike" is used to show intent, not necessarily the amount of force used. How many of us would NOT call a violation when a player sticks their leg out to block the pass, but the ball only grazes the leg? That's certainly not a "strike" in the general meaning of that word, but it would still qualify as a violation because we all understand it is based on the intent of the player, not the total amount of force.
So, if a player is "holding" the ball between their legs, it will be a violation in my game.
If a woman squeezes her legs around me, will I call it a "strike"? Depends on how bad I've been that day.
