Nice catch, Cam. Thanks.

Why can't it be both?

There's no rule against attempting to play the ball with the leg, unless the ball makes contact with the leg. The leg-ball contact has its own consequence. Without contact, there's no consequence.

Then, you'd have to judge the excessive nature of any leg-arm contact. If you think that any such contact is excessive, then I suppose you have a ground for an intentional foul.
