T for Kicking

The reason I brought the severity of the act into the equation is that you could have a situation where you have sort of a half hearted kick at an opponent that is more just like "get away from me" - more like a push than a "kick"...would you automatically eject someone for pushing? I think this is usually a HTBT situation in order to determine if you have flagrant or not...

I think this is what I was thinking of as I read the OP. The rule doesn't appear to leave a lot of room for judgment, though.
