Kicking Violation Philosophy

[biz]

Ball comes to foot/leg = legal.

Leg/foot goes to ball = illegal.

This sounds perfect to me. The parallel I draw is to soccer. Handling (hand ball) is only supposed to be called if a players hand/arm plays the ball. If the ball plays the hand/arm then there is supposed to be no call unless....

And this is something that people have sort of discussed and this is the other reasoning I use to determine whether the ball was played intentionally with the leg.

In soccer handling can also be called if the ball plays the hand/arm of a player whose hand/arm is in a position that is unnatural to normal play. I think this works perfectly for hoop. If the legs are in an unnatural position for normal play then the player has possibly made a move to stop the ball with his/her leg.
