The rules are the rules, but the reality as I have seen it is that most refs call a kick whenever the ball strikes anywhere below the knee. A leg in motion can and should be considered to have intended to strike the ball (you aren't mind readers). It bugs me to see the kicked ball consistently called when players haven't moved their feet an inch after the pass was released. Perhaps there should be a violation on the offense for throwing the ball at a defenders foot!

I agree with the coach. Oh my goodness! Did i just say that?
If the player lifts his foot and the ball hits below the knee, I have a kick. Even if the foot doesn't hit the ball until until it's returned to the floor, it's a kick if he moved the foot to block the pass.
What's the signal for a kicked ball?
