Helmet comes off during a tackle, due to prior foul?

So ... you're of the opinion that you, a lone official, knows better than the entire NFHS regarding safety? You think that the scenario we're talking about has never ever either happened or even occurred to anyone as a possibility?

Trust me.... I'm not alone

There's a reason why the ball is dead when a runner loses his helmet. If you can't see the correlation between this and the play in question, then I am "sorry to hear that about you."

And you know every scenario cannot be covered in a rule book, case book, official's manual...etc... so that excuse doesn't wash.

As stated prior, the inadvertent whistle hurts nobody as the penalty will certainly be accepted by A.

It prevents potential serious injury not inherent to the normal activity associated with football.
