Actually "Contact above the shoulders" is the POE, but the rulebook mentions several areas where this can take place and references this potential violation.
I would say I treat this differently when people are directly around than are out in the open by themselves or teammates. After all this is a judgment call and what is "excessive" to one official might be normal to another. This is also very rare anymore but if you see it, I would suggest call it.
Peace
