The defense created its own disadvantage by kicking the at the ball and trying to create an advantage for itself, it backfired and gave the offense the advantage. Kinda like a flop when trying to draw a charge, you could call a block (or a T for that matter) but all the player did was take him/herself out of the play and gave an advantage to the offense.
