A pass that simply hits below the knee is not enough - the leg must be moving in an intentional act of defense otherwise it is just a bad pass (and the offense should not be rewarded by returning the ball to them.)
Why it is called wrong has got to be a lack of education or understanding of the rule.

Actually,Tony,in NFHS rules it is a violation to intentionally kick the ball with the knee,also.Rule 4-29 states "knee OR below" as part of the definition.
The NCAA rule defines a "kicked ball" as being with any part of the leg.
