We get a few variations between rule sets on what is part of the leg .

This is one of the better attempts to conceal a spam bot, that I've seen.

If so, it was remarkably close to being on topic.

Like I said, one of the better attempts:

Ask Ace About Violations — Non-Time Counts

Q: In a recent pickup game, a disagreement occurred about a kick ball situation. A player who was running down court was hit in the shin. Some players called kick ball while others such as myself disagreed. I know that the FIBA ruling says it has to be done intentionally but what do U.S. rules say? Is it a turnover or a foul, or does the ball simply stay in play???

A: The play, as you describe it, is not a violation in any current rules of play — FIBA, NCAA, NBA, etc.. The point of the rule is that "Basketball is to be played with the hands" (a quote from the FIBA Rule Book). If you are trying to play the ball with your leg, it is a violation. We get a few variations between rule sets on what is part of the leg (NCAA says below the knee; NBA and FIBA say any part of the leg). But the concept in all is that it must be a deliberate act.

Pardon this ignorant question. What is the purpose of this spam bot?

...for lack of response.

I didn't realize I didn't include that I rebounded the ball and started up-court with it in hand and dribbling. The defender stopped my chances of making it up court, causing me to lose my dribble to a teammate of his. Like I said, he barely gave me one step before the collision, with his back towards me.

Hope that clarifies things.
