Thanks for the replies. This was a high-school game in Michigan that my jr.-high daughter and I were watching. My daughter is the one who noticed that this seemed to be a habit with a few players. The players were pushing the helmets back while running...not just touching them, but actually making an obvious motion to flip them back. We weren't sure, since they weren't actually removing the helmet. But they did push it far enough back that the helmet fell off after the next step or two, and it sure looked to us like an attempt to get rid of the helmet. We thought there might be some "loophole" in the rules, since they weren't called at all on it by either umpire.
