Kicking Violation Philosophy

Otherwise, the ball-handler could just aim right and use B1 to make it look like a kick when in fact the kick was finished, and unsuccessful.

Why in the he!! would they do this? Defenders try to kick for a reason, to stop a pass from going through.

Oh wait, I figured one out; an AP throwin. If a thrower can coax the defender into stretching her legs out of position, then throw the ball at the legs, they get a new throwin and get to keep the arrow.
