I misunderstood where you were coming from. Regarding use of the contact to hit someone...
NCAA rules prohibit using helmet (or facemask) to butt or ram, they prohibit spearing, they prohibit hitting an opponent intentionally with the crown or top of helmet.
Again, I have rarely called (but called more frequently than the other type I was speaking about).
To me, all of these have to be obviously intentional in order to be flagged. And I am going to have to see the contact, even before there is contact, to make that determination. I believe I miss many potential fouls because of that requirement. I am just going with my gut. If my gut tells me it was intentional, than it is flagged. More often than not though it tells me it was possibly accidental and is going unflagged.
