The point was that coaches were saying helmets were coming off RIGHT after the whistle, thus not during the play, so they didn't have to come out... this was not the intention of the rule. Now it is clear.

And I believe if a player's helmet does not fit right, or the chinstrap isn't tight enough, and the helmet turns sideways during a play, he should have to sit out a play. Tighten the chinstrap, wear a helmet that fits, or face possible injury. That's absurd?
