6-1 a player shall not "use rough tactics"
Don't see anything that says the contact or rough tactics must be body to body. If clearing a path by using the ball as a battering ram was legal contact, I think more than a few coaches would be using it every trip.

If you want to get real technical, the rule says illegal contact with an opponent...hitting someone with the ball is not contacting an opponent. So technically, your only option is to call a technical foul...
Not saying that's how I'd call or nor what I think should be called on this play.
