Kicking the ball is illegal, but that doesn't mean every time the ball is kicked its a violation.

This Rule Review segment is going over plays involving the kicking violation. This video is dedicated to educating basketball officials on recognizing how to identify a kicking violation properly. Watching actual videos of plays involving kicking violations, along with some basic instruction explaining each rule, helps officials learn faster and retain rule information better. We can all learn together by continually discussing the rules as they are written in the NFHS rules book and viewing actual high school basketball games reinforces that learning.
Because kicking is defined with only one sentence it can be overlooked as an easy and matter of fact rule, but unfortunately it is a rule that gets misapplied often. The factor that seems to cause confusion is the whether the ball was kicked intentionally or not. This will be the main focus of what we will be reviewing in this segment of Rule Review. All video clips we reference in this segment on kicking come from high school games and focus solely on the NFHS high school rules book.
Video #1
- A passed ball is kicked by a defender, preventing the completion of the throw. The official calls a kicking violation, but why does this constitute a violation. Watch to hear the explanation.
Video #2
- This video shows a rebound with the ball coming down off the ring and, after a little fumbling, gets kicked up by the offensive player for a put back shot. No whistle was blown but not because it was an offensive kick. Check out why.
Video #3
- Another rebounding play but this one resulting in the player falling to the ground, losing the ball, and regaining control by using his feet to bring it to himself. The official called a kicking a violation. Was he right?
Video #4
- A player drives into the lane and fumbles the ball, kicking it forward into the foot of a defender who kicks it again. Why did the officials allow two kicks to happen without stopping play?
Watching video clips is a good way to stay connected to the skill of officiating basketball but true education and learning can more effectively be attained when each video is annotated with diagrams and shading to point out key teaching points.
The Officials Institute, and the Rule Review segment, creates videos that don't leave you guessing about whether there was a foul, violation or not. Even though we cannot officiate in slow motion or freeze frames, by watching and reviewing video video in this fashion, we are able to "retrain our brain" so we can start seeing plays more accurately when we do see them in real time and increase our ability to get the call right.

Great video! What if a defender constantly does the same as the guy from the first example? Is there a penalty for repeated use of the foot?

@OfficialsInstitute 2 года назад

No. Even if this happens several times in a row, the penalty is always a simply kicking violation with the ball for a throw-in and the nearest spot.

This is probably the biggest false call in pick-up basketball. I've always argued that a kickball has to be intensional. People look at you like you're crazy. 90% of the gym think you're wrong. And the whole from the knee down rule is bizarre. It's anywhere on the leg. Lets say I make a bad pass and it hits the back of the defenders foot while his back is torwards me. Is that a kick ball?

@OfficialsInstitute 4 месяца назад

Probably not, as if the players back is to you, the probability of that player seeing and intentionally kicking it is very low. But ultimately comes down to the judgement of the officials.

@michael95621 6 месяцев назад

Here's a scenario that just happened to me. Offensive player throws a pass Defensive player puts hand and foot up at same time ball hits defensive player's hand then deflects into his foot defensive player gets possession throws it up for a fast break layup no call To me he obviously put his foot up intentionally to stop the ball. The fact it hit his hand first before deflecting into his raised foot is irrelevant, but I can't find anything specific on that, though some of these examples seem to illustrate the same concept.

@OfficialsInstitute 6 месяцев назад

The official would have to make the judgement as to the reason the ball hit the foot. If it was intentionally kicked; violation. If it was a deflection off the hand and then unintentionally hits the foot; no violation. Not an easy play to rule.

@michael95621 6 месяцев назад

@@OfficialsInstitute I agree in the moment very difficult to decide. I do kind of wish the ref would have whistled it based on the look though, but it was against my team so of course I'd feel that way. My opinion on it is that the defensive player raised their hand and foot at the same time and the ball deflected off their hand into their raised foot and the intent of the raised foot was to strike the ball to stop the pass and it's irrelevant if it hit anything else first including a legal part of that player's body. I couldn't find anything in the rule or handbooks that said a deflection made it okay, but of course the player wasn't trying to deflect the ball of their hand into their foot they were trying to deflect the pass period using any part of their body available including their leg. For instance let's say the pass hit another player first or off the backboard and then hit the outstretched leg it would be a kick ball without question. I think what tripped us up is that the pass was bad enough that it hit the defender's hand first and the defender's opinion is that if I got a hand on it it should be mine. I somewhat agree but at the same time the pass might have been recovered by the offense if the trajectory hadn't changed off his foot. Incidentally if the ball had hit the player's other leg which wasn't outstretched to try and kick the ball I'd think it would be legal but that was also the foot visible to the ref so the chance it would have gotten whistled would go up. 🤷‍♂ Thank you for taking the time to think about it and for this video. If you have an e-mail I can send you the play, I just can't give permission to post it because there's a lot of people in it that aren't me.

@woodchiu1967 3 года назад

I have seen many times in the court players kind of lost control of the ball while the defenders intervene and fight for getting the control of the ball, the original ball handler who losing control actually also kicking the ball sort of multiple times while the ball is under his foot, and then he eventually getting back control of the ball because of the kicking somehow bringing the ball to the advantage of his. So, is that counted as a kick or not?

@OfficialsInstitute 3 года назад

If you think player uses his foot to intentionally hit it in an attempt to gain control. This would be a kicking violation.

@woodchiu1967 3 года назад

@@OfficialsInstitute In a incidence, the player lost control of the ball. While the player and a defender fighting to gain back possession of the ball. The ball somehow rolled underneath his legs. While it looked like he was not intentionally to kick, it continuously hit the ball three times by his front lower legs. Because of those kicks, the player eventually gained advantage of controlling the ball back.

@hansmeier7508 Год назад

just had yesterday a little discussion with 15 year old kids on the streetcourt about this topic. the same situation happened two times by two different people in seperate games. so in a 3v3 the ballhander dribbled the ball unintentionally on his foot. the kids said its kickball so I gave the the ball but not without insisting tht they are actually wrong. or am I wrong because it is an active move by the ballhander himself?

@OfficialsInstitute Год назад

You are correct but it has nothing to do with the ball handler doing the act. A kick is only a violation when it is an intentional act.

@elieabouraad6555 3 года назад

If the player that have the ball attempts to pass the ball between the defender's legs, and the defender closes his legs and stops the ball, is it kicked ball?

@OfficialsInstitute 3 года назад

Did the defender intentionally strike the ball with his foot or leg?

@BinkCarroll 2 года назад

When a defender spreads their feet while jumping in attempting to block an inbound pass and the ball contacts the defender’s foot is this considered intentional? I would think it is but I often see no kick call made.

@OfficialsInstitute 2 года назад

The way you describe in this statement, the leg intentionally moves toward the ball in an attempt to hit it. This would be a kicking violation.

@padelisgk8126 Год назад

Ok so i have i guy on 3on3 who routinely kicks the ball, purposely , when i pass low passes (cause he cant bend) and claims “yes it is a violation , so have the ball” .this means that i lost a potential point and he gets no penalty...can you please give advice on this. Is it legal or illegal. Legal means he is penalized, illegal means he is thrown out of the game, Or on 3on3 terms, i get the point. Looking forward to your reply.

@OfficialsInstitute Год назад

Kicking the ball intentionally is illegal.

I have a player that dribbles the ball with his knees. Wondering if this is really a kick ball violation as it is intentional AND he strikes the ball with his knees / shins which is part of the leg. Comments?

Sounds illegal to me.

Will the shot clock reset to 14sec after a kickball violation? Or it will be a continuation?

@OfficialsInstitute 2 года назад

The shot clock in NFHS is brand new, and currently an optional rule per each state, so the rules regarding a reset has yet to be published, but soon I’m sure. Stay tuned.
