Helmet Opening

I need a clarification on this ruling...we have had some discussion as to what is the correct one.

A1 is carrying the football on a running play when he goes into the pile and is tackled by a number of players but B2 grabs him back the back of the helmet at the bottom near the neck and pulls on it....is this a penalty for grabbing an opening or a no call....my U and I ruled a no-call as our association interpretation is that this is not an opening....it is the first time I have seen this in eight years of officiating

I am looking for some help to make sure we get this call right in the future...
