re: Hit on Kelly vs Hurts

You were crying saying this was targeting

"No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below).

Note 1 includes: Lowering the head before attacking, launching, etc.

That's clearly a personal foul and an automatic ejection. The ball carrier in the clip is not defenseless but that is not a requirement of Article 3.
