Well, he was probably referring to the rule change that did make it a violation to intentionally hit the ball with any part of the leg. The rule change did not affect the intentional requirement. So, he blew the call.

You said that the official is still learning the game. Give her/him a break. I hope that conversation took place *only* because s/he solicited your feedback knowing that you used to officiate. As much as you'd like to, it's not your job to educate officials. You coach. Talk to your players after the game (and during the game for that matter). You said that you were winning big when that happened ... and then you sought him out to ask about that call after the game? Let it go. Let it go.

Thanks for the feed back. You read way to much into what I said. I knew he was wrong when he made the call during the game. I simply walked over after the game was over and asked for an explaination. There was no controversy. I wasnt trying to educate anyone. As far as letting it go, I don't know how I could have handled it any differently, I let it go until what I felt was the appropriate time.
