Question for Officials about grabbing helmet.

[shermdog]

This is a legitimate question for officials?  So please let them answer......


Situation 1
Team A offense
Team B defense

Team A ball carrier is running and sees team b defender closing in pursuit.  Just before team b gets there, team a ducks and causes team b to tackle team a's  head.  PF Facemask called.

Situation 2

Team A offense
Team B defense

Team A ball carrier is running and sees team b defender closing in pursuit. Team B defender comes up to tackle team A ballcarrier.  Team B defender wraps arm around team A ball carriers head.  No call.  

I asked why when gabbing  the helmet, it was not a foul?  I was told that the hands did not wrap into the helmet. But both tacklers wrapped up the head.

So what is it?  I you want you can PM me.

Thanks
