Intent of the Rule?

Let me get this straight. Before you call a kicking violation you first intellectually determine which team is in control in order to decide whether or not to call the violation?

4-29: Kicking the ball is intentionally striking it with any part of the leg or foot.
9-4: A player shall not...intentially kick (the ball) as in 4-29.

I might have kicked a kick now and then, but feeling and abnormality isn't part of the equation. Has always felt normal, regardless which team committed this violation, if that's what it was.

Does it seem to anyone else that the OP makes this more difficult than it needs to be? Or is it just me?
