Yes, I saw it. However, I understand that in NCAA ball, there must be an apparent play for a ruling to be made for removing the helmet.
Other things. I've noticed quite a few pitchers getting outside the "H".
Nuvemann failed to immediately note that the batter may not advance to 1st when the base was occupied. All the graphics changed and it took a minute or two before the announcers backed off and were forced to explain why there was no longer a runner on 1B.
Play at the plate last night would have caused an ejection in ASA ball. The catcher was definitely where she didn't belong, but the runner raised the right forearm into the catcher's face.
The only first baseman which seems to handle the receiving mechanics correctly is Veronica Nelson. The rest just love to put their foot on top of the base.
So far, the outcome of at least half the games I've seen can be connected by F3's failure to play their position properly.
