It wasn't a hard or flagrant hit by any means but I thought it could have been averted altogether. Team B coach goes nuts, screaming at me, "I can see the flag if it was a vicious hit but he only touched him."
I resisted the temptation to reply to the coach with my usual sarcastic style.

I had one on Friday night. Contact to the helmet with the hand. It was a follow-through of trying to bat the pass. It was not late but I flagged it because the helmet was hit. Contact to the helmet will almost always get a flag in my book.
I also had helmet to helmet contact that was pretty hard. That got a PF flag. When it's a safety issue, I lean towards protecting the players.
