Just means that if you are lower than 20 seconds during this specific event, you reset to 20 seconds for a kicked or fisted ball violation by the defense.

I think they tried to be a little cute with the wording.

Here is the NCAA Men's Rule wording. Some of this does not apply to the NF at all.

c. Reset to 20 seconds or the time remaining (whichever is greater) when the following occurs:
1. A personal or technical foul is assessed to the defensive team and the ball is to be inbounded in the front court; (Does not apply to the NF)
2. When a kicking the ball/fisting violation is committed by the defense and the ball is to be inbounded in the front court or backcourt; Note: This rule applies only when the foul or violation in 1 or 2 above occurs prior to a try for goal which hits the ring or flange.
