It wasn't a hard or flagrant hit by any means but I thought it could have been averted altogether. Team B coach goes nuts, screaming at me, "I can see the flag if it was a vicious hit but he only touched him."
I resisted the temptation to reply to the coach with my usual sarcastic style.

It wouldn't take much contact if it was to the head for me to have a RTP. It would have to be a "see it to call it" type of play, but in general contact to the head of the QB will have a flag. I give a good chat to the captains about hitting the QB and in the head would almost always cross that line if there must any force behind the contact.
