Jim-
Are you suggesting that if the ball is kicked before the whistle and misses
it should be an IFK coming out? That would be a change in the Law -- a kick
before the whistle cannot put the ball in play. Note that the ATR refers to
infringements *after* the referee's whistle. (That said, I'm not sure it
would be a bad change to the Laws . . . always awkward to tell the defense
"sorry, but that miss didn't count, we're doing it again.")
