kick ball mechanic

not sure where I thought I read that
the mechanic on a kick ball is no longer
a "kick with the leg". It is simply a
floor violation, official should point to
the floor and then to the spot of the OB.

Am I dreaming this or does anyone have
thoughts?

You're dreaming it.

Signal #2(stop clock) followed by signal #27(kicking) followed by signal #7(designated spot) followed by signal #6(directional signal) --all on p.77 of the NFHS rule book.
