So it must be noted IMO that the terminology he stated is not a good description of an actual foul. And on a pass, players could be diving for the ball and hit helmets. I have seen it happen and not been a foul.

For crying out loud, Jeff. The OP clearly states there was a flag thrown, so let's go ahead and assume the contact was illegal. If he would have questioned the refs throwing the flag, you'd have deferred to the guys on the field. The question was obviously about rule enforcement, not judgment.
