Can the offense have a "kicked ball"called

[dsimp8]

against them? I did a men's league game last night and the PG was getting double teamed before his dribble. He started to dribble and itbounced off his foot right to a teammate standing underneath the basket. My partner blew his whistle and called a kicked ball and gave the ball to the defense. One of the players came up to me and said that the offense cannot have a kicked ball called against them. I just said that my partner made the call and we would talk about it.

We had a conversation and he said that it looked to him like the PG intentionally kicked it toward that player. I said that we would go with that and he explained to the "coach" what the call was. What is the rule? We are using NFHS rules.
