Completely agree. If we're so concerned about head injuries these days (rightfully so), it should be encoded in the rules that throwing a ball at someone's head, regardless of tactics or intent, is some kind of foul. I leave the specifics to the rules committee, but I believe this should be addressed to give more objective criteria to officials.
We did this for elbows above the shoulders and the message has been getting through. We can do this, too. Let's make the game safer.
