  1. ILLEGAL HELMET CONTACT The National Federation has no foul or terms that islabeled “launching” or “targeting”.  These are Saturday & Sunday terms that have trickled down to high school, both on the officiating side as well as the coaching side. You need to remember that fact when announcing over a field mike or when talking to coaches. Use National Federation Terms

  2. What the NFHS rule does talk about is “illegal helmet contact.”  When defining illegal helmet contact the rule talks about “initiating” contact with the helmet against an opponent.  There are, by rule, three illegal acts that all involve initiating contact with the helmet. They are “face tackling,” “butt blocking,” and “spearing.” The term “illegal helmet contact” will probably be better accepted over the field mike than will “butt blocking.” • We are all aware that there is a great deal of inadvertent helmet contact in the game of football that is not considered illegal. Close interior line play quickly comes to my mind. • From a philosophical standpoint it is wise to error on the side of safety especially when questionable helmet contact is initiated on “defenseless” players, such as receivers and passers. Illegal helmet contact calls may be more of a challenge when a hard charging running back collides with an immovable linebacker. • WHEN IN DOUBT IT IS ILLEGAL HELMET CONTACT

  3. RULE 9-4-3i • ILLEGAL PERSONAL CONTACT • No player shall initiate illegal helmet contact by: • a. butt block • b. face tackle • c. spear • Illegal helmet contact may be considered a flagrant act. Acts considered flagrant include, but are not limited to: • a. Illegal helmet contact against an opponent lying on the ground • b. Illegal helmet contact against an opponent being held up by other players • c. Illegal helmet-to-helmet contact against a defenseless opponent
