Kick or no?

[Ballen]

Ok...this is one I'd have to see but for now I'm with Jurassic on this. If the kicking motion has been completed by the foot returning to the floor then,-->NC. Otherwise, we have a ball that has touched B's lower leg as a result of intent with the complication of a touch. (a second judgement) If the ball goes OOB, great...A's ball. If the ball goes to A; --->NC. If the ball goes to B or we have a scramble; TWEET--->KICK.

Is this not consistant with the intent of the kicking violation rule 9.4?

I know that I'm applying A/D to a violation and this has been debated in a recent thread...however...my game is flowing here and I'm being consistant with regard to intent, IMO.

B intentionally raised the leg in an attempt to deflect the ball and if B indeed deflects the ball prior to the foot returning to the floor, then I have another judgement to make. If B recovers the deflection or A is disadvantaged by a scramble --->TWEET--->KICK.

If my partner (Mitcher?) comes in with a KICK, even though A maintains possession, I'm ok and hustling into position...it's by the book.
