Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Sure I've heard of a held ball....and that's my call in this situation. Let's go to the arrow.

I think the current interpretation is, if she used her leg to move the ball, it's a kicking violation.

In this situation the OP says nothing about the ball moving.

No, but if she moved her leg to pin the ball, it would also be a kicking violation.

I personally then hereby interpreted this OP to be that her leg was at somewhat of a 90o angle, not moving at all, and the ball somehow "squirted" under this non-moving leg and then became lodged there. Then, simultaneous possession by both teams. Therefore, I whistle a held ball.

Just my translation.

That's how I read it, too.
