Coaches are also uninformed

I have to agree with Hawks on this, the rule is misunderstood by many.

I had a play were A1 grabbed the rebound and made the outlet pass to A2 who is running ahead. A2 never turned around, did not see the ball and it hit him in the back. The ball fell and hit A2's sole of his shoe, glanced off B1's leg and then went out of bounds. Coach B very loudly demands that I award the ball to B, because A2 "kicked the ball".

No coach, that was not an INTENTIONAL act, nor was your player's "kick".
