The kickball in BBall has a lot of parallels to the hand ball in soccer -- both are grossly misunderstood by fans, players, and coaches. A useful phrase used by some soccer refs to explain the difference is "Hand to ball is a foul, ball to hand is not" -- in other words, you look to see if the hand moved to the ball, or if the ball "found" the hand. Seems like a good rule of thumb for Bball on the kick, too.
