It wasn't a kicking violation, it was an inbounds pass that went off the defenders leg, there's a difference. Did you notice that the ensuing inbounds was from the sideline where the ball went out? Had it been ruled a kick then yes your rule citation would be correct and the ball would of been inbounded at the same spot on the endline.

Thanks,

I must have missed that; it certainly looked as if the defender kicked the ball; in retrospect you are probably correct. Unfortunately, I did not TVO the game; it would have been a good teaching point for new officials to analyze all aspects of the play and pick up on the dispositon of the ball for the throw-in. Thanks for the insight.
