Kicking

[tharbert]

Yes, it has to be intentional. And it's not necessarily kicking, it's striking the ball with any part of the leg from the knee down. If A1 accidentally dribbles the ball off his own foot and keeps going, there is no kicking violation. It makes no difference whether the violator is defense or offence.
I also read in the NCAA manual where grasping the ball between your knees is also "kicking." I wonder who came up with that one... And I think their definition includes the leg as the whole, not just from the knee down.
