can a kick ball be a T?

I know it is semantics but if you call anything else it is not a kicked ball - IMHO if it is a kicked ball that is it - if you have something else it might be a result of the action of kicking but not a kicked ball.

A player kicking at a ball wouldn't be flagrant, but a player kicking at another player may be flagrant if it's deemed to be a fighting act. Very possible.

You're right, it's semantics. The question is, can you call a technical for a player kicking the ball? The answer is, yes, but....

Unless the player is doing his best Beckam impression or tees off and kicks the ball right at an opponent, a T is going to be very hard to justify.
