The play would be a judgement call.....it would all depend if I thought B was making a play on the ball...something like if a defensive back was trying to swat the ball out of the air and contacted the offensive player in the head. To me, the contact is not a deliberate act toward the player but to the ball. And yes Leon Lett deserved what he got on that play....but the rule still seems to be somewhat harsh for A.
