BktBallRef wroteThere is no rule that defines whether this is holding the ball.
There's also no rule that says this is kicking the ball.
So what your say in is that holding the ball between your legs ( which requires voluntary muscle response) is not an intentional act?
It is a kicking violation. there is a specific play in the NCAA case book that covers this. The rules are the same in FED and NCAA except for the issues with the shot clock.
