Jurassic Referee,
Thanks for the rule clarifications on the "kick" in relation to NFHS and NCAA.
I knew the NFHS rule but did not know it was different in the NCAA.
As a matter of fact, I was watching a H.S. District playoff game today and saw a player "kick" the ball with the upper part of his leg. (Above the knee)
The official blew his whistle and awarded the ball to the opposing team. (Now I wonder if the official was thinking NCAA rules)
The only person to complain in the whole gym was the kid who "kicked" the ball...he kept tapping the upper part of his leg...Hmmmmmm, I wonder if he really knew the rule or if he was just showing his teammate where the ball hit him?
Dude
