Gaining control with your feet

Coach just put his hands on top of his head and started shaking it back and forth. No explanation necessary!

Interesting. I think I'd want an explanation if I was a coach and knew the rule. There was no intentional strike with the leg nor was there any attempt to control the ball with the leg. If I'm picturing this correctly, the kid just let the ball hit his leg and I'm not sure this was illegal.
