What is the rule? How is it interpreted?
You got it right with your first line. What's the question? The other interpretations were either wrong or you "miss saw it."

If a ball strikes a players foot or leg accidentally, play on. No violation.

EDIT - See Rule Book 9-3, Section 4 or Case Book 4.29 - Unfortunately, I can't paste them, but someone probably will.
