2) Those that responded with flagrant are fine. I have no problem with their opinions, except for the one that said the kick should be an automatic flagrant and I disagree with that. Make it fit the situation and the intent of the rule which describes flagrant as 'of a violent or savage nature'. This was not violent or savage, imho.

I don't have my rulebook with me this weekend, but take another look at yours. Per rule, a kick or an attempt to kick is fighting, which is always a flagrant foul.

Mark, the definitions of flagrant foul does indeed mention kicking saying 'If personal, it involves, but is not limited to violent contact such as: striking, kicking, and kneeing.'
I'm still looking at the term violent contact and also judging the players intentions in the play I had. There was absolutely not violent contact and I really believe the players intent was to clear space not to strike out or harm. Again, that is my judgement of the play and others may have differing opinions.
