Technically, no. Intentionally removing the helmet while the ball is live is an out (doesn't remove force, ball remains alive, etc.).

At the same time, it is one we are not expected to look at or notice when the ball is live unless there is a live play. This is part of the "do it their way" that the coaches want and expect.
