you cannot lead with the crown of the helmet and have your shoulder make contact first.

• A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with
contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on
the ground


It does not have to be with the crown of the head. It simply says contact above the other player's shoulder.

#24 make contact with Murray's head. (@11 seconds).

RSJ made contact with Dinson's head. (@10 seconds).

If one was targeting, they both were.

you are confusing the rule for "defenseless player" with the rule that prevents ALL hits initiated with the crown of the helmet. it's two separate rules.

quote:


Rule 9-1-3: Targeting and initiating contact with the crown of the helmet. No player shall target and initiate contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. When in question, it is a foul.

Rule 9-1-4: Targeting and initiating contact to head or neck area of a defenseless player. No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, fist, elbow or shoulder. When in question, it is a foul.
